Asia trade junket planned for Long Beach officials
Port of Long Beach Harbor Commissioners will join the city's mayor on a 12-day trade junket to Asia next month, with stops in Japan, South Korea and China.
Commissioners James Hankla, Mike Walter and Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster will visit three Japanese cities, one in South Korea and four in China over June 2-14. Foster plans to deliver a speech in Shanghai, meet with business leaders and sit down with government leaders in at least seven cities. The commissioners plan to meet with Asian officials to discuss port-related business.
The city's Harbor Department, which manages the port, will be paying for the trip.
