Timor-Leste Steps Into ASEAN

  • After applying for membership in 2011 and gaining observer status in 2022, Timor-Leste is set to become ASEAN’s 11th member this October. Despite challenges such as poverty and dependence on oil exports, can this young nation transform its membership into meaningful opportunities for itself and the region? To get insights on this, we speak with Chua Tian Chang, Director of Connect Timor.
