Travelling to Korea is always a pleasure – there are so many opportunities for partnerships with Arkansas in this great country! One of the highlights of our trip was our team’s visit to the Korea International Trade Association(KITA), the largest business organization in Korea – representing more than 73,000 companies. Thanks to Hee Chul Jung for hosting us at KITA’s offices – we had a great conversation about trade and other opportunities between Korea and Arkansas. Governor Sanders signed a memorandum of understanding with KITA earlier this year, following a trade mission to Asia. We thank KITA for their interest in growing their partnership with the State of Arkansas.
