ASEAN Chairmanship: Timor-Leste is set to chair ASEAN in 2029, after Singapore in 2027 and Thailand in 2028. The decision follows the bloc’s alphabetical rotation and will give the country its first turn leading ASEAN since joining in 2025. Summit Debut: Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão arrived in Manila for the 49th ASEAN Summit, where leaders are expected to discuss regional security, economic cooperation and Myanmar. The Philippines will hand the chair to Singapore on Nov. 17. Building Partnerships: Foreign Minister Bendito Freitas says Timor-Leste wants Malaysian investment and cooperation in education, skills training and institution-building to turn ASEAN membership into practical gains. Indonesia has also backed Timor-Leste’s 2029 chairmanship and discussed expanding investment.
