"Sri Lanka is in a pivotal point," Karunanayake said, adding that with its strong geographical location in the Indian Ocean, the nation aimed to attract more investment and trade.
The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative, proposed by China in 2013, is aimed at building an infrastructure and trade network that spans the globe, linking Asia with Europe and Africa, along the ancient Silk Road trading routes.
