China’s Confucius and Greece’s Aristotle were born at almost the same time. Their great philosophies have led the east and west civilizations for over 2500 years. Today, the Confucius Institute is bridging these two great civilizations, where the wisdoms of the two ancient sages will merge and blend beyond time and space, sparkling the splendors of our times!

I would like to offer my warmest congratulations on the founding of the Business Confucius Institute in Athens, wishing that she would grow into a beautiful flower blooming in the garden of a multi-cultural world!

Director-General, Hanban
