College ‘helps dragon economies’

Comments: none

A university department to promote Chinese culture and language and strengthen business links with Wales has officially opened, the BBC reports.

The Confucius Institute, named after the Chinese philosopher, is based at Cardiff University.

With 73 similar institutes in Europe, it is the second to be opened in Wales.

Welsh Secretary Paul Murphy said the institute was ‘hugely important’ and would forge strong links between the two ‘dragon’ economies.
