Voices supporting VOA

East Asia and Pacific

Before VOA’s East Asia and Pacific Division was largely silenced in March 2025, it was broadcasting in 10 languages, which included some of VOA’s longest running-programming. Seven of VOA’s language services to the region launched before or within the first few years of VOA’s official establishment in 1942: Cantonese, Mandarin, Indonesian, Korean, Thai, Burmese and Vietnamese. VOA later added programming in Khmer, Lao and Tibetan.
