“The Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA), which covers 90% of the Asian continent and brings together 28 member states, is an important and unique dialogue platform that serves to strengthen mutual trust and cooperation among member states with the aim of contributing to peace, security, and stability in the region and promoting sustainable development.”
“Elchi” reports that this was stated in the address of President Ilham Aliyev to the participants of the CICA Media Forum.
“Azerbaijan, which has chaired this organization for the past two years, has spared no effort to strengthen the institutional capabilities of CICA, expand practical cooperation, and further increase the organization’s role in the system of international relations, demonstrating determination and consistency in ensuring confidence-building measures.
During our chairmanship of CICA, high-level meetings held in Baku in various directions, and events organized among think tanks, experts, business circles, and youth have contributed to the intensification of mutual relations within the organization and served to further strengthen Azerbaijan’s position as a space for dialogue and multilateral cooperation,” the head of state noted.
