Governor to travel to China, Japan to help Indiana economy

Gov. Mitch Daniels announced today he will be traveling to China and Japan next week with a group of Hoosier business and community leaders. They will be working on an economic development plan to bring jobs and investment to Indiana.

The trip will start next Monday in China as Daniels speaks at an event in Shanghai given by Cummins Inc. After that, Daniels will meet with representatives from the Shanghai Foreign Commerce Commission. In the evening, he will be a host to a reception for the Hoosier Club of Shanghai, a group of business leaders and alumni from Indiana colleges and universities.

“We’ll go anywhere to bring back more jobs for Hoosiers,” Daniels said in a press release. “And we believe in redoubling our efforts in hard times, to gain ground on other states while they’re raising taxes and making themselves less attractive to business.”
