Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia

The idea of establishing an Asia-wide forum on security cooperation was first proposed by President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan in October 1992 at the 47th session of the UN General Assembly. This regional forum aims to promote dialogue and consultation on Asian or Eurasian peace and security issues among experts, academics and political leaders.

1992年10月，哈萨克斯坦总统纳扎尔巴耶夫在第47届联合国大会上提出了建立一个全亚洲范围的地区性安全合作组织的倡议，旨在通过各国专家、学者和领导人之间“讨论亚洲或欧亚的和平与安全问题”，促进亚洲各国间的对话和协商。

After 10 years of deliberation and diplomatic coordination, the first summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) was held in Almaty (Kazakhstan) in June 2002.

经过长达十年的专家论证 和外交协调，2002年6月，亚信会议第一次峰会在阿拉木图成功举行。

The CICA is committed to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including equality of its member states, respect for each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, peaceful settlement of disputes, and the obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force. It encourages exchanges and cooperation among member states on security, economic, social and cultural issues, through the implementation of confidence-building measures to address military politics, new threats and challenges, and economical, cultural and ecological development.

亚信会议恪守《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则，坚持各成员国一律平等，相互尊重主权和领土完整，互不干涉内政，倡导以和平方式解决争端，反对动辄诉诸武力或以武力相威胁，通过制定和实施军事政治、新威胁新挑战、经济、人文、生态等五大领域信任措施，加强成员国安全、经济、社会和文化交流与合作。

CICA deliberation and decision-making mechanisms include: Meetings of Heads of State and Government, Meetings of Foreign Ministers, the Senior Officials Committee (SOC), and the Special Working Group (SWG).

亚信会议建立了国家元首和政府首脑会议、外长会议、高官委员会会议、特别工作组会议等议事和决策机制。

The number of CICA member states increased to 26 at the 2014 Shanghai Summit. At that summit, President Xi Jinping introduced an Asian security concept that emphasizes joint and comprehensive measures and cooperation in ensuring sustainable security, one that aims at carving a path through joint efforts to a secure future in the region enjoyed by all.

截止到2014年的上海亚信峰会，亚信会议已有26个成员国，横跨亚洲各区域。在本次峰会上，习近平主席提出了“共同、综合、合作、可持续”的亚洲安全观，倡议走出一条共建共享共赢的亚洲安全之路。
