But, it then faced an even more arduous struggle, the fightagainst poverty, since its population was the poorest in Asia. In addition, the youngest country on the planet faces difficulties stemming from coexistence with two powers in the area, Indonesia and Australia, which could condition both the political and economicdevelopment of the country. |
