Fitial, US governors off to China for second economic forum

Gov. Benigno R. Fitial leaves today for Beijing, China to join five other U.S. state and territorial governors for a second U.S.-China governors’ forum on economic development and job creation. The purpose of this forum is to bring the two countries together at the sub-national level. Also it allows for peer-to-peer discussions between U.S. governors and Chinese provincial leaders about topics of mutual interest and to explore opportunities in promoting practical cooperation between the two sides.
Outcomes: 
Fitial hopes the dialogues in Beijing will capture not only traditional business relationships, but also place an emphasis on air service, energy innovation, tourism and cultural exchanges.
