Our Asia Desk Director provides:

• Technical assistance

• Trade missions

Maine participates in the Council of State Government's Eastern Trade Council (ETC) which works to assure state and regional economic competitiveness in the global marketplace.

We're in direct contact with the ETC's China Office in Guangzhou, China.
