Dili: President Droupadi Murmu was conferred the Grand-Collar of the Order of Timor-Leste, the country’s highest civilian award, by her counterpart José Ramos-Horta on Saturday.

Murmu, 66, received the award for her achievements in public service and dedication to education, social welfare and women empowerment, her office said in a post on X.

She was warmly received by President Ramos-Horta at the airport, her office said. Cheerful children greeted her on the way from the airport.
