Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Gov. Youngkin later this month will lead an international trade mission to Asia.
Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are on the agenda for the trip, to run April 24-29.
Youngkin is expected to meet with the president of Taiwan plus government officials, strategic business associations, company executives and global industry leaders in all three countries to further strengthen Virginia’s economic and cultural connections.
“I’m excited to represent the commonwealth,” Youngkin said in a statement. “Taiwan, Japan and South Korea represent critical markets that will advance economic growth and prosperity in Virginia.”
State officials say Virginia is home to five five businesses based in Taiwan, 133 in Japan and 25 in South Korea.
