Leiken to visit South Korea, Japan.
Byline: The Register-Guard
SPRINGFIELD - Mayor Sid Leiken will join Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski
next week on a trade mission to South Korea and Japan.
The goal for the trip is to promote Oregon exports, attract new
business investments and highlight the state as a tourist destination.
Leiken is expected to be the only local government official from
Oregon accompanying Kulongoski on the trade mission. Several business
executives will also attend.
In 2005, South Korea and Japan were Oregon's second- and
third-leading export markets.
Leiken plans to detail his trip with photographs and an online blog
that will be available at www.ci.springfield .or.us.
