Kazakhstan sets new stage for CICA development at Baku summit

The seventh summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA), held in Baku on October 15, marked the next stage in the development of the platform created on Kazakhstan's initiative.

The summit adopted decisions on strengthening CICA's institutions. These decisions were accompanied by a discussion of a central question: how to turn the dialogue the platform has built up into practical tools for ensuring security.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev put forward his own answer. His proposals range from a preventive diplomacy mechanism to cooperation in artificial intelligence and the training of a new generation of specialists. A Kazinform analysis examines why Kazakhstan's initiatives contribute to the Conference's program for further development.
