Baku: Crucial steps have been undertaken as part of Azerbaijan’s chairmanship of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA). Thus, since 2024, Azerbaijan has chaired the CICA, and this is a vivid evidence of the trust that the member states have placed in our country,’ said Deputy Foreign Minister and COP29 Lead Negotiator Yalchin Rafiyev as he addressed the international conference on the “Role of Universities in Green Energy and Sustainability” held at ADA University.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, during this period, the Women Council and the Finance Summit of CICA were established. Both organizations will contribute to the deepening of cooperation within the organization in the future. Besides, the 8th CICA Youth Council Meeting and 8th plenary session of CICA Business Council were held in Azerbaijan last month. All this shows that Azerbaijan has achieved its ambitious goals within the framework of its chairmanship. Currently, the CICA is planning to convene its General Assembly.
