Day 8: Lt. Governor Skillman Concludes China Trade Mission
BEIJING, China – Lt. Governor Skillman and the Indiana agriculture, jobs and investment delegation is headed home after a successful trade mission to China.
This morning, Lt. Governor Skillman and select members of the delegation concluded their official business with a meeting with the Chinese Minister of Agriculture. After the meeting, all delegates departed Beijing to Newark, NJ, where they will make a connecting flight back to Indianapolis. The delegation is scheduled to arrive at Indianapolis International Airport shortly after 10:00 p.m. today.
“Hoosier farmers deserve our respect for putting food on the table and providing innumerable goods for us to use in Indiana,” Lt. Governor Skillman said. “But they also work to meet needs around the world. China is growing at an incredible pace and we know that Hoosiers can help fulfill their growing needs.”
This is Lt. Governor Skillman’s fourth international trade mission since assuming office in 2005. Her trips to Central America in 2005, Taiwan and Vietnam in 2006, and Mexico in 2008 led to business deals for multiple agriculture industries. This mission has been paid for entirely through private donations.
