Member states of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) vowed to seek further financial cooperation in Asian region on April 17.

In the Jinan Proposal issued at the CICA Finance Summit held in Jinan, East China's Shandong province, the members agreed that Asia is becoming an important force in promoting international cooperation and global economic recovery and development.

The CICA is a multilateral cooperation body that seeks to promote peace, security and interaction in Asia.

"The countries in the region share common interests," the declaration said, adding that no country can stay immune in the face of global challenges.

Financial cooperation will help strengthen public health construction and jointly build a community for human health.
