The Business Confucius Institute at the University of Leeds (BCI) is a partnership between the University of Leeds and UIBE. Some members of the delegation had visited Leeds for the opening of the BCI five years ago, and for others this was their first visit to the University.

After an update on recent BCI activities at the Confucius Institute offices, the group enjoyed a campus tour in the sunshine, passing through the Great Hall and Parkinson Court.

This was followed by a meeting in University House with representatives from the Business School, International Office, and Careers Office. During this discussion, which was chaired by BCI Executive Director Dr Giles Blackburne, participants were able to introduce their work and consider opportunities for future collaboration.
