Throughout the first decade of its existence, ICAPP constantly demonstrated membership growth and extension of its influence. Over 340 political parties from 52 Asian states have become ICAPP members by present. Having established fraternal contacts and cooperation with Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean in 2008, ICAPP makes efforts to establish contacts with political parties on the other continents, in particular in Africa.
