The litre is defined as being equal to 0.001 cubic metre. Note that the statement is a definition. The 0.001 cubic metre is 1,000 cubic centimeters (cc's), so a litre is equal to 1,000 (or 103) cc's. There are 1,000 millilitres (ml) in a litre, and since there are also 1,000 cc's in a litre, there are 1,000 ml in 1,000 cc's. If 1,000 ml = 1,000 cc's then 1 ml = 1 cc.

One cubic centimeter is one centimeter by one centimeter by one centimeter. It just so happens to be equal to the volume of one milliliter.
