Azeri FM expected to join CICA meeting
Azerbaijan's foreign minister is expected to attend the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) due in Kazakhstan's capital Astana on September 12, Kazakh Ambassador Serik Primbetov has said.
Addressing a press conference marking the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, Primbetov said, "Due to the fact that Azerbaijan is an active member of the CICA, we are expecting Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov to join the event."
CICA is an inter-governmental forum for enhancing cooperation aiming to promote peace, security and stability in Asia.
The idea of convening the CICA was first proposed by Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev at a session of the United Nations General Assembly in October 1992 and was welcomed by a number of Asian states. During the following seven years, a series of meetings were held among the interested countries to discuss issues related to calling the meeting and draft documents.
