ASEAN Summit Addresses Cambodia-Thailand Conflict and Welcomes Timor-Leste

Imagine a big club of countries in Southeast Asia called ASEAN.

Recently, they had a big meeting.

Two important things happened: first, Cambodia and Thailand, who were fighting over their border, signed a peace agreement to stop the fighting.

This agreement includes things like removing weapons and clearing landmines.

Second, a new country called Timor-Leste officially joined the ASEAN club, becoming its 11th member.

ASEAN is important because it has lots of people and makes a lot of money together, more than many other countries.

It's like a big economic team.

The club also helps countries work together on important things, like security and trade.

However, the countries in ASEAN have different levels of wealth, and there's a problem in Myanmar that they haven't been able to fix.

They also have to think carefully about how they work with big countries like China and the United States, as they are important for trade and investment, but also have different interests.
