Hanban provides a grant for the establishment of Confucius Institute at Musashino University

Project narrative

In 2015, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Musashino University signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Musashino 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 2015, Musashino University and Tianjin Foreign Studies University, the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Tianjin Foreign Studies University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established on August 11, 2015. It was the fourteenth Confucius Institute to be established in Japan and the fourth Confucius Institute to be established in Tokyo.
