Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

The Confucius Institute at the University of Liberia (UL) was formally launched on December 18, 2008 in the UL main campus. H.E. Mr. Zhou Yuxiao, Chinese Ambassador to Liberia and Professor Ansu Sonii, Acting President of UL unveiled the nameplate of the institute at the opening ceremony. The Institute is part of a partnership between the Chinese Embassy in Liberia, the University of Liberia, and the Changsha University of Science and Technology. China is reportedly providing classroom renovation, Chinese language courses, and some 3,000 books. In addition, Hanban (the Confucius Institute headquarters) is helping provide large scale restorations of the University of Liberia campus, which had been severely damaged due to the civil war. The agreement signing ceremony took place on 21 December, 2007 where the Chinese Ambassador to Liberia, H.E. Mr. Zhou Yuxiao and the president of UL, Dr. Al-Hassan Conteh were present.
