Covering 90 percent of the Asian continent and bringing together 28 member states, the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) is an important and unique dialogue platform that contributes to peace, security, and stability in the region, and serves to strengthen mutual trust and cooperation among member countries to promote sustainable development.

Operativ Media reports that this was stated in President Ilham Aliyev's address to the participants of the CICA Media Forum, organized by the Media and Broadcasting Council under the theme "Building Trust Through Media in a Polarized World."

The address also noted: "Azerbaijan, which has chaired this organization for the past two years, has demonstrated determination and consistency in ensuring mutual confidence-building measures, sparing no effort to strengthen CICA's institutional capacity, expand practical joint activities, and further enhance the organization's role in the system of international relations."
