During Indonesia's ASEAN Chairmanship in 2023, a roadmap for Timor-Leste to become a full member will be agreed upon. It is expected that Timor-Leste can soon meet the criteria in the roadmap, which will be adopted tomorrow, and thus become a full member of ASEAN.
The 42nd ASEAN Summit 2023 will be attended by eight ASEAN Heads of State or Government, the ASEAN Secretary-General, and the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste, who will be present as an observer.
