Media OutReach Newswire, Asia Pacific’s first global newswire, has expanded its press release distribution network in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), affirming its position as the leading global newswire for ASEAN, Southeast Asia, and the wider Asia Pacific region.
After a two-decade accession process, Timor-Leste officially became the 11th member state of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on 26 October 2025, during the 47th ASEAN Summit, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The expansion of press release distribution to the new ASEAN member state cements Media OutReach Newswire as the global newswire having local presence, knowledge, and expertise across Asia Pacific. This enables the newswire to build and expand its distribution network in response to any new developments in this dynamic region.
Media OutReach Newswire’s Timor-Leste press release distribution network includes all media in the country, including the nation’s top media outlets, such as Suara Timor Lorosa’e (STL), Timor Post, the Jornal Independente, and Tempo Timor to name a few.
