Hanban funds establishment of Confucius Institute at Far Eastern Federal University

On December 21, 2006, a Confucius Institute at Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in the city of Vladivostok was officially established in collaboration with China's Heilongjiang University. In May 2008, FEFU Confucius Institute was the first in Russia and the second in the world to conduct qualification exams in Chinese for children under the Youth Chinese Test (YCT) program. Between December 2006 and December 2011, 2,317 people learned the Chinese language and 1,738 others passed different levels of the HSK tests at the FEFU Confucius Institute. Then, on August 27, 2012, an agreement was signed between Far Eastern Federal University and Heilongjiang University to further develop the Confucius Institute. In February 2018, the ‘Chinese Hall’ at the FEFU Confucius Institute was reconstructed. It contains more than 50 works of art and accommodates more than 100 people
