Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 5, 2018, the Chinese Government signed an agreement for establishing a Confucius Institute at the University of Sao Tome and Principe (USTP or Sao Tome and Principe Public University). The value of this project is unknown but it may have been partially financed by a USD 29 million loan from China (see Record ID#56531). On July 11, 2019, the Confucius Institute was officially opened. It is the first Confucius Institute in Sao Tome and Principe. Hubei University is the Chinese partner for this particular institute.
