Full Description

Project narrative

On May 28, 2015, a Confucius Institute was officially established at Félix Houphouët-Boigny University in Abidjan to promote Chinese language, culture, and influence among Cote d'Ivoire's young people in partnership with Tianjin University. The Confucius Institute was originally founded at Felix Houphouet-Boigny University on March 27, 2015 with grant financing from Hanban. It is unclear when Hanban committed to funding this project and when construction began. According to a Ivorian Debate article, courses began on December 3, 2016.
