The Confucius Trade Institute was opened at Matej Bel University (UMB) in Banska Bystrica on Tuesday as the school launched its 28th academic year since its founding in 1992, a few months before Slovakia gained independence. According to UMB, the Confucius Trade Institute will provide a "unique opportunity" for its students, staff and the broader public to study Chinese under the guidance of experienced language teachers from China.
