Description

On June 1, 2013, The University of the West Indies (UWI) in St. Augustine, Trinidad & Tobago, hosted a six-member delegation from Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters in China for a guided tour of the Campus. This was followed by the official signing in Parliament of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a Confucius Institute at the St. Augustine Campus. This Confucius Institute will be the second of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean, with one other established at The UWI Mona Campus in Jamaica in July 2010. On Oct 23, the Confucius Institute at UWI, St Augustine Campus was officially opened in an official ceremony with Ambassador Huang Xingyuan. By February 2017, ambassador Song Yumin reported that over 500 students had taken part in the academy.
