"China proposes to turn CICA into a dialogue and security cooperation platform embracing the entire Asia and works at a new cooperation and regional security architecture," he added. He proposed to conduct more meetings of foreign ministers of the CICA member state, to expand the CICA secretariat functions, to set up a mechanism of consultations in the field of defence within the forum, to form a working group to control over implementation of confidence-building measures in five dimensions (economic, ecological, humanitarian, military-political, and fight against new challenges and threats).
