Djibouti City, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Djibouti, is located on the west coast of Aden in northeastern Africa, guarding the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb, where the Red Sea enters the Indian Ocean, and is a key gateway connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. As an important transportation hub in East Africa, the port of Djibouti is the main sea port of Ethiopia and other landlocked countries, but also an important international base for entrepot trade and supplies. The city has a hot and dry climate, with an average annual temperature of about 30°C. With a population of over 600,000, the city is a multi-ethnic agglomeration where the official languages are French and Arabic. In recent years, Djibouti City has become an important node of regional economic cooperation and geopolitics by actively developing a port economy, a free trade zone and foreign military cooperation based on its strategic location.
Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country.
