Mr. Da Costa made the comments after holding a farewell ceremony with all accredited ambassadors to Timor-Leste.
He added the problem in Passabe happened because the residents in the referred area tried to construct a customs office building there but that was protested by some Indonesians who were living nearby the border.
The situation was under control of the two countries' security forces, he said.
"We should be calm and not create violence. It will be resolved by the leaders of the two countries," da Costa said.
