handle is hein.journals/chintersd47 and id is 7 raw text is: Reflections on Maritime Partnership: Building the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Liu Cigui T he Silk Road is a general term used to geographically describe ancient Chinese exchanges between Asia, Europe and Africa in the areas of politics, economics and culture. Starting on land and developing on sea, the Silk Road is a vehicle of historic importance for the dissemination of culture. The ancient maritime Silk Road was developed under political and economic backgrounds and was the result of cooperative efforts from ancestors of both the East and West. China's proposal to build a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road is aimed at exploring the unique values and concepts of the ancient road, enriching it with new meaning for the present era and actively developing economic partnerships with countries situated along the route. Specifically, the proposal seeks to further integrate current cooperation in order to achieve positive effects. The ocean is the foundation and vehicle necessary to build a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. It is China's mission to understand the importance of building a Maritime Silk Road and take effective actions at present and for a certain period to come. Liu Cigui is Director of the State Oceanic Administration, People's Republic of China. CHINA INTERNATIONAL STUDIES - July/August 2014 5
