The "Silk Road Economic Belt" and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road," or "One Belt and One Road" for short, were development strategies put forward by President Xi Jinping in 2013. The "One Belt" will link China with Europe through Central and Western Asia. The "One Road" represents a maritime route through the Straight of Malacca to India, the Middle East and East Africa.
The Maritime Silk Road dates back to 2,000 years ago, when ancient merchants sailed from China's eastern coast, passing Southeast Asia, the Southernmost tip of India and East Africa, all the way to the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, strengthening economic ties and cultural communication.
