The Chinese city of Shanghai will host the coming CICA summit on May 20 and 21. CICA is a multinational forum based on the recognition that there is a close link between peace, security and stability in Asia and in the rest of the world.

Among the objectives of the CICA are enhancing cooperation through elaborating multilateral approaches towards promoting peace, security and stability in Asia, eradicating the menace of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, combating illicit drug production and trafficking, and promoting trade and economic cooperation for the prosperity and stability in Asia.

The idea of convening the CICA was first proposed by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the 47th UN General Assembly session on October 5, 1992.
