FORTY-SIX United States business executives will join US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke in China and Indonesia on the first Cabinet-level trade mission of the Obama administration, the US Commerce Department said on Tuesday.
On the heels of President Obama's new National Export Initiative, aimed at doubling US exports in the next five years, Locke will lead US companies on this clean energy mission during the May 15 to 25 trip to advance their export opportunities and support American jobs, the department said.
Twenty-four US companies will join Locke for the China portion of the trade mission, and 10 US companies will travel to Indonesia. The delegation will make stops in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing and Jakarta.
Commerce said the mission aims to promote exports of US technologies related to clean energy, energy efficiency, electric energy storage, transmission and distribution.
"America's economic future will depend on how well it competes to meet the rising global demand for clean energy in the 21st century," Locke said in a statement.
"China and Indonesia represent tremendous potential markets for US companies ready to compete in the clean energy and energy efficiency sectors," he added.
