STORYLINE:
East Timor's president-elect Xanana Gusmao met with Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri in Jakarta on Thursday.
Aiming to build a new relationship with the country against which he once waged a guerrilla war, Gusmao invited Megawati to attend the independence ceremonies.
East Timor will become the world's newest nation on May 20, when its current United Nations administration hands over the governing of the territory to a local authority.
Dozens of world leaders, including UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, have been invited to the celebrations, which will peak at midnight on May 19 with a lavish fireworks display.
Gusmao, on a two-day visit to Indonesia, also plans to meet Indonesian legislators, some of whom have publicly urged Megawati to boycott the event. Elements in Indonesia's military are also uneasy about her attending.
She has yet to publicly respond to earlier invitations. But some government officials have said she plans to attend the ceremonies.
In 1999 East Timor voted overwhelmingly for independence from Indonesia and the country has been under United Nations administration for the past 2 years.
