Perdue heading to Japan, China
Gov. Perdue is getting ready to take a road trip. From a Dept. of Commerce release:
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue and N.C. Secretary of Commerce Keith Crisco will lead the state’s Asia business development trip in October. Business leaders and regional economic developers will join the two as they meet with trading partners and recruitment prospects in China and Japan, North Carolina’s second- and fourth-largest trading partners. Most of the costs will be paid by non-state funds
“This trip is about building and sustaining relationships that create jobs for North Carolinians,” said Gov. Perdue. “Doing business with Japan and China results in $3.6 billion a year in trade, jobs for 20,000 North Carolinians and more than $200 million in foreign direct investment.
“Asian trade and investment represent significant growth opportunities for our state – especially in an economic downturn,” Perdue added.
