This paper applied the secondary documentary research techniques to explore this development in four different aspects Economic Growth, Infrastructural Development, International Relationships and Mutual Benefits to identify and whether OBOR is worthwhile. The study found one-way causal relationship between China’s outward investment and GDP growth of 5 countries along the maritime silkroad namely India, Russia, Indonesia, Iran and Thailand.
