Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 30 August, 2006, a Confucius Institute was officially established at the University of Zimbabwe. The facility was jointly built by the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) and the University of Zimbabwe. Present at the handover ceremony were Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Zhang Xianyi, and Zimbabwean Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Stan Mudenge. The value of the donated Confucius Institute is unknown. According to the Hanban source, the Confucius Institute officially began running on 5 March, 2007. This project is completed. Also during the handover ceremony, the Chinese Ambassador facilitated a donation from the Chinese government worth $100,000 USD to the Institute (captured in linked Record ID#18777).
