Blunt, Bond, McCaskill to China

Gov. Matt Blunt and Sens. Kit Bond and Claire McCaskill are heading to China this week to focus on new trade opportunities.

The three are leading a high-level delegation of government, business and civic leaders from the St. Louis area in an effort to boost the state's trading partnership with China.

“Missouri businesses have shattered export records every year since I took office in 2005,” Gov. Blunt said. “This bipartisan trade mission to China, one of our most important trading partners, will help strengthen business relations and help continue Missouri's outstanding job growth.”
