ABSTRACT: The purpose of my study is to demonstrate the comparative advantage of
Aden port and the role that might play in the international trade especially
through the belt and road initiative that is presented by China, the strong
endeavor of the Yemeni government to develop the port, and how Aden port can
regain its former significant position. Using the descriptive and comparative
methods, this study analyzed the comparative advantage of Aden port and the
potential cooperation of Yemen and China in the belt and road initiative
through utilizing Aden port in the marine transportation activity. We found out
that Aden port needs some further development to be able to bring tremendous benefits to all the countries along
the belt and road initiative. Finally, further study on this topic and the role
of Aden port in the belt and road is needed due to its strategic location.
