Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev participated in the June 14-15 plenary session of the 5th summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) and met with CICA member nations leaders in Dushanbe.

Tokayev told the gathering he believes Tajikistan’s CICA chairmanship will help the organisation contribute to solving issues facing the Asian region.

“Today, CICA is an authoritative multilateral structure uniting 35 states of the Asian region and about half of the population of our planet,” said Tokayev.

Tokayev also expressed concern about growing security threats and ideological and ethnic and religious tensions in the region. He presented Kazakhstan’s vision to address those issues, including the need for systemic and integrated approaches.
