Chinese President Hu Jintao left Kazakhstan's Almaty for Beijing Saturday
after attending the second summit of the Conference on Interaction and
Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA).
At the one-day summit, Hu delivered a speech, calling for building a
harmonious Asia of enduring peace and common prosperity.
Heads of state or government, or their representatives of CICA members
attended the meeting and they exchanged views on the regional situation,
prevention of conflicts, peaceful solution of disputes and adoption of
confidence-building measures and other issues.
CICA, a forum aimed at increasing security in Asia, was initiated by Kazakh
President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who called for its creation at the 47th UN
General Assembly in 1992.
The summit convenes once every four years. The first summit of CICA convened
in Almaty in June 2002.
