Governor Announces Web site to Log Economic Development Mission Activities

Georgia delegation to visit six countries over the next two weeks.

Governor Sonny Perdue announced Friday that citizens can follow his two-week economic development and diplomatic mission to Europe via a new Web site. The Web site is designed to serve as a travel journal and a central source of information, chronicling the delegation's meetings with leaders of commerce, industry, education and government in six European nations.

The site will be updated frequently throughout the mission with journal entries from the governor and other senior delegation members. Press releases and photographs will also be posted to the site. For those who seek more information about the places visited on the mission, links are provided to the embassies and consulates of those countries.

Last month Perdue announced that he will lead a state delegation on a mission to Europe from June 18 to June 29. The mission will take the governor to six countries, including the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), France, the Czech Republic, Germany and Belgium. The governor's delegation will include Lt. Governor Casey Cagle, State Senator Eric Johnson, officials from the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), business leaders from various Georgia industries and civic leaders from Georgia communities.

Perdue's mission will focus on several key sectors, including aerospace, automotive and life sciences. He will also meet with heads of state and government throughout Europe.
