Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived in Beijing on Saturday night after attending the second summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) held in Kazakhstan's Almaty.

During the one-day summit, Hu Jintao delivered a speech calling for building a harmonious Asia of enduring peace and common prosperity.

Heads of state or government, or their representatives of CICA members also exchanged views on the regional situation, prevention of conflicts, the peaceful solution of disputes and adoption of confidence-building measures in the meeting.

The CICA, a forum aimed at increasing security in Asia, was initiated by Kazakh President Nazarbayev, who called for its creation at the 47th U.N. General Assembly in 1992. The first CICA summit was held in Almaty June 2002.
