Chinese President Xi Jinping first raised the Maritime Silk Road initiative when he visited Southeast Asia in October 2013.During his visit, he memorialized the ancient Maritime Silk Road and outlined a new Maritime Silk Road, in order to revive the Maritime Silk Road to carry forward the spirit of peace, friendship, and cooperation of the ancient Silk Road.China hopes to realize common development with all countries along the road to improve maritime security, and develop a community of common destiny. This paper examines the building of the new Maritime Silk Road from three aspects: the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, infrastructure construction, and free trade areas. Finally, this paper proposes to better bilateral cooperation between China and Sri Lanka in the areas of policy, capacity building and training. Sri Lanka is the first country to officially support China’s initiatives and both countries hope that their bilateral collaboration will become a model for maritime cooperation in the new era, resulting in Sri Lanka becoming a dazzling pearl along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road
