This is the biggest annual event for Confucius Institutes across the world, and it was attended by university Vice-Chancellors, Confucius Institute representatives and ambassadors from 140 countries. 

In 2012, the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), in collaboration with Bangor University, established a Confucius Institute at Bangor – the first in the world with a legal focus.
