On October 28, 2014, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and University of the Republic of San Marino signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at University of the Republic of San Marino. As part of the agreement, Hanban is obligated to provide teaching materials, an annual fund, and numbers of Chinese instructors. The funds are dispersed through a local Bank of China account or other approved bank account created by the institute. The agreement has a 5-year validity and automatically renews at the end of every 5-year term. In 2014, University of the Republic of San Marino and Beijing City University (北京城市学院), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement.

The Confucius Institute was officially established on March 30, 2015.
