It is Dili’s “destiny” to be part of ASEAN, said Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta on Monday, following his Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão’s previous statement claiming that the nation might reconsider its membership application.

Expecting ASEAN to have fully resolved the complicated Myanmar crisis by now was “unfair”, Ramos-Horta added.
