The development of efficient transport corridors can unite the interests of countries in the South Caucasus, Secretary General of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) Kairat Sarybay said.
Speaking about the possible participation of the CICA in the normalization process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the Secretary General stressed that Armenia is outside the organization, therefore the CICA cannot be an intermediary in this process.
"At the same time, we understand that when it comes to multilateral diplomacy, we need to know what contribution external partners can make. I think that the development of safe and efficient transport corridors can unite the interests of the whole region," Sarybay said.
CICA's activities
