The latter, directly under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (now the Ministry of Commerce), was founded in 1980 as one of the first institutions in China offering an academic program in international economy and trade. In October 2008, Guangdong College of Finance and Economics also became part of the University.
