地中海处于海上丝绸之路和陆上丝绸之路的交汇处，土耳其依托地中海拥有独特的地缘政治经济地位。作为地中海区域大国，凭借其区域影响力，土耳其在中亚-高加索地区的“一带”建设中扮演重要角色，同时也是中东-北非-南亚-东南亚地区“一路”建设合作的核心区域，更是中东欧-巴尔干-欧盟-黑海地区共建“一带一路”的重要区域。土耳其在“一带一路”建设中的重要作用值得中国关注。中、土分别位于丝绸之路的起点与终点，应共同肩负复兴丝绸之路的使命，通过加强政治交往、经贸往来、人文交流等方面的合作，推进“一带一路”建设。
The Mediterranean is an intersection of the “Maritime Silk Road” and “Land Silk Road”. Relying on the Mediterranean Sea，Turkey has a unique geopolitical and economic status，and plays an important role in the “Silk Road Economic Belt” of Central Asia-Caucasus by virtue of its regional influence. At the same time，it is also the core area for “the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road” construction in the “Middle East-North Africa-South Asia-Southeast Asia”，and the important area in building “the Belt and Road” in the “Central and Eastern Europe-Balkan-EU-Black Sea”. Turkey's important role in “the Belt and Road”construction deserves China's attention. As the starting point and the end point of the Silk Road，China and Turkey should jointly shoulder the mission of reviving the Silk Road，and give impetus to “the Belt and Road”construction by enhancing cooperation in political communication，cultural，economic and trade exchanges.
