Universities overseas help draw up plans for expansion

Confucius Institutes worldwide are starting to think long-term, with 325 of them already having their own development plans.

On Monday, at the Seventh Confucius Institute Conference in Beijing, more than 300 university presidents took part in a seminar to discuss drawing up such plans for Confucius Institutes globally.

That followed a meeting in 2011 at which the Confucius Institute Headquarters discussed its development plan.
