Iranian presient to attend Asian security summit in Istanbul
TEHRAN, June 7 (MNA) -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to attend an Asian security summit in Istanbul on Tuesday.
The summit entitled “Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia” aims to increase security and trust on the Asian continent.
The meeting is held every two years. It has a permanent secretariat in Kazakhstan.
The summit brings together 18 countries, which are not always on good terms. These countries include Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, India, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Republic of Korea, Russia, Tajikistan, Thailand, and Turkey.
The Tehran agreement on nuclear fuel swap and the Israeli attacks on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla last Monday are among the issues which will feature in the talks, according to Voltairenet.
Israel has decided to boycott the summit.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who had not initially planned to attend, will make the journey to Istanbul. He is expected to hold private discussions with Ahmadinejad.
The CICA was set up on the initiative of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union and the independence of his country. It aims to establish norms of international relations in Asia.
It is credited with creating the “Nuclear Weapons Free Zone in Central Asia (Semipalatinsk Treaty, signed in 2006 by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan).
