On July 15, 2014, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Semyung University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Semyung University. 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, Semyung University and Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (江西中医药大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement.
