Among this program we also visited several R&D institute, techno Park, and field visit to POSCO, and Gyeonggi Technopark). Most of the training session held in Sejong National Research Complex. The building was so huge, many researchers are working in this complex including STEPI. Nice view and cool weather becomes most challenges for all participants. Warm welcome from Korean people Through KOICA and STEPI really makes us like family. We have learned a lot from Korean people and Korean Government how they develop the country from nothing. Korean people have shown to us that to develop the country is not only depend on natural resources but work hard and creativity is the key for better future of the country. As stated clearly in the main gate of POSCO Steel Company "Resources are limited, but creativity is unlimited. Timor-leste people and Government should learn from Korean Experiences. Even We have natural resources someday this "Blessing of God"will empty. We need to invest more resources in capacity building and Research and Development (R&D) for the future of the nation.On march 25, 4 participants from Timor-Leste came to Korea to attended "Technology and Policy for Asian Countries 2015 which sponsored by KOICA.
