East Timor has applied for a membership in the Association of Southeast Asia Nations.
Its application was submitted Friday by East Timor's foreign minister.
Indonesia's Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa accepted the application on behalf of the association. He said he will soon convene a meeting to study the application, since Indonesia is the group's current chairman.
He added that "East Timor's future will be very much linked to the future of the Southeast Asia region."
The group includes Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
East Timor voted to secede from Indonesia in 1999.

East Timor will become Southeast members.It is wonderful,because Khmer Krom is under Vietnam control like EAST TIMOR under Indonesia.
The EAST TIMOR has a voice so can Khmer Krom.The EAST TIMOR will speak
up to UNPO to wake up some ethnic
groups in Southeast Asia such as
Montagnards,Champa and...etc...
Thank 7:39AM,
I wish Khmer Krom will have a chance
being a full potential from Vietnam
soon because East Timor has a golden
voice to wake the UNPO members around
the world,including Khmer Krom in
Southeast Asia.
May all gods bless Khmer Krom Federation.
