The goal of ICAPP is to organize exchange and cooperation between political parties from different countries to strengthen mutual understanding and trust between Asian countries. Within the framework of this structure, Asian regional cooperation is being promoted through the unique role and channel of political parties, thereby creating an environment for sustainable peace and shared prosperity in Asia and Oceania.

One of such events was the participation of a representative of the Women’s Wing of UzLiDeP Political Council Executive Committee on February 24, 2021 in a special videoconference on “Women’s empowerment during and after COVID-19”.

During the discussions, the head of the Women’s Wing Department of UzLiDeP Political Council Executive Committee Sevara Muslimova focused on the ideological platform of UzLiDeP, the activities of the Women’s Wing, the role and place of political parties in ensuring gender equality in Uzbekistan, as well as the successful experience of countering COVID-19 in Uzbekistan. Particular attention was paid to informing the foreign expert community of conceptual theses from the speech of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the 46th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The event organized by ICAPP was held at a high organizational level, which further increased its status as a link between the parties of the Asian region.
