亚信成立24年来，顺应世界多极化和区域一体化的历史趋势，为促进各国互信与协作，探索符合亚洲特点和各国共同利益的安全与发展道路，作出了独特贡献。

Since its inception twenty-four years ago, CICA has followed the underlying trend of multi-polarity and regional integration and made unique contribution to increasing trust and coordination among countries and exploring a new road of security and development suited to the reality of Asia and the common interests of Asian nations.

亚信提出了地区国家共同行为准则。1999年亚信首次外长会议发表《亚信成员国相互关系原则宣言》，将相互尊重主权和领土完整、不使用或威胁使用武力、不干涉内政、通过谈判和平解决争端等核心原则作为各国处理相互关系的基本准则。这些原则凝聚着亚洲独特的智慧和价值，正在被广泛应用于亚洲国家解决矛盾争议、开展互利合作的实践中，为促进地区和世界稳定与发展发挥了积极作用。

CICA has put in place a common code of conduct for countries in the region. The Declaration on the Principles Guiding Relations Between the CICA Members States released at the first foreign ministers' meeting in 1999 identified core principles as basic norms governing state-to-state relations, which include mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-use or threat of force, non-interference in internal affairs, and peaceful settlement of disputes through negotiation. These principles embody the unique wisdom and values of Asia and are widely followed by Asian countries in addressing disputes and conducting mutually beneficial cooperation, thus contributing to regional and global stability and development.

亚信首创了"信任措施合作"模式。亚信以《信任措施目录》、《落实信任措施纲要》以及各领域落实信任措施构想和行动计划为基本框架，设立了军事政治、新威胁新挑战、经济、人文和环保等五大合作领域，明确了禁毒、中小企业发展、青年、旅游、信息技术等11个合作方向，构建了较为全面的信任措施合作体系。"信任措施合作"的推进，契合各国安全与发展的多样化需求，是发挥各国积极性，增进政治互信、加强安全合作的一种新模式，成为国际关系中一个有益创举。

CICA was the first to establish the model of "CBM cooperation". The basic framework of CICA consists of the CICA Catalogue of Confidence Building Measures, the Cooperative Approach for the Implementation of the CICA CBMs, and the proposals and plans of action on implementing CBMs in various fields. CICA has identified five priority areas for cooperation, i.e. the military and political dimension, new challenges and threats, economic dimension, people-to-people exchange, and environmental dimension. In addition, cooperation is also under way in Il other areas, including combating illicit drugs, SMEs, youth, tourism and information technology. Together, they have shaped a comprehensive system for CBM cooperation. CBM cooperation, as an innovative approach in international relations, meets the diverse need of various countries for security and development, and represents a new model that brings out countries' initiative and enhances political mutual trust and security cooperation.
