History of the CICA

The Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia is an inter-governmental forum for enhancing cooperation and promoting peace, security and stability in Asia.

The CICA was first proposed by Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the 47th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in late 1992.

The two founding documents of the CICA are the Declaration on the Principles Guiding Relations among the CICA Member States and the Almaty Act, the charter of the CICA.
