In late 2005, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Malaysian Global Education Management Group cooperatively established the Global Chinese Language Center. According to the Malaysian application, in September 2006, the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) agreed to list this center as an official Confucius Institute.

Located in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, the center was established under the influence of the Global Educational Administration Group in Malaysia.

Since its establishment, it has set up a variety of instructional projects and courses. The courses offered by the center include: China's National Conditions, Cross Cultural Communication, Modern Chinese, Teaching Theories of Chinese as a Foreign Language, and Chinese Culture.

It has also successfully offered teaching and training courses targeted towards Malaysian students, teachers, school administrators, radio and television personnel, aviation workers, and the business community.

In order to meet the Malaysian people's Chinese language needs, the center will set up a systematic teaching and training program as well as arrange activities designed to promote Chinese culture.
