Timor-Leste, Asia's youngest nation, has officially joined the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as its 11th member, marking a historic step toward deeper regional cooperation and economic integration.
The formal accession was celebrated in Kuala Lumpur, where the Timor-Leste flag was raised alongside those of other ASEAN member states — symbolizing unity, inclusiveness, and a shared vision for regional progress.
Kutubuddin Ahmed believes Timor-Leste's membership in ASEAN will amplify avenues for trade, investment, and collaboration across multiple sectors — particularly textiles, construction, infrastructure, and education.
