East Timor–Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic relations

East Timor–Sahrawi Republic relations refers to the current and historical relations between the East Timor and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). The SADR was the first state of the World in establishing formal diplomatic relations with East Timor, after its independence on 20 May 2002, in part due to the long-time strong ties and the historical parallels between the two national liberation movements, FRETILIN and POLISARIO. A Sahrawi embassy was opened in Dili in 2010, during Xanana Gusmao's government.
