CICA states should embark on Asian security path - Xi Jinping

Xi noted that development is the foundation of security and security constitutes the precondition for development. "We need to advance the process of common development and regional integration, foster sound interactions and synchronized progress of regional economic cooperation and security cooperation, and promote sustainable security through sustainable development," Chinese President said at a press conference following the CICA summit attended by President Nursultan Nazarbayev and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. According to his words, the summit participants unanimously stated that Asian countries need to implement practical cooperation in combating terrorism, drug trafficking and transnational organized crime, human rights, nuclear non-proliferation, and ensure food and energy security. Speaking about a "new Asian security concept", Xi Jinping said that for most Asian countries, development means the greatest security and the master key to regional security issues.
