Climate is healthy for investments in Kansas by Far East, Carlin says
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. John Carlin returned to Kansas yesterday from a three-week trip to the Far East and said Japanese investors were ripe for the picking, and Kansas looked pretty attractive to them.
Carlin and a 46-member trade delegation leave May 13 for Hong Kong, where the group stayed until May 18. From there, they traveled to the capital of the People's Republic of China. Peking is now called Beijing.
While in Beijing, the group met with mainland China's national government officials and business leaders.
The next four days were spent in the Henan province, an agricultural area in China similar to Kansas. The team will take up its trip with two days in Houloula.
Minutes after getting off his plane at a north Korea airport, Carlin already was talking about a possible return to Japan or China before he leaves office next January. The governor said he would consider such a trip because the climate for hurrying investment is so good.
"Japan looks extremely good for investment here in Kansas," Carlin said. "Everywhere we went they said
our timing was good. They want to spread that investment around. They know it's better for them, both economically and politically."
Carlin said that several factors lead Japanese investors to look favorably upon Kansas, such as the rising value of the yen. He also mentioned a government policy in a trade bill that passed Congress that adds "incentive for Japan to work very hard in bringing more investment here and for working on the trade issue."
The governor said Martha Collins, governor of Kentucky, traveled to Japan four times last year before she planted a lucrative Toyota assembly plant.
In addition to Carlin and members of his staff, the entourage included state economic development officials, state Board of Agriculture officials and four state legislators: Sens. Richard Gannon, D-Doogall, and Joseph Harder, R-Moundridge; and Reps. Donald Mainey, D-Topeka, and David Heinemann, R-Garden City.
The trip, which cost about $72,000, was Carlin's third to the Far East in his eight years as governor. He went to China in 1979 and returned in 1984.
The trips have resulted in Kansas'
developing an official "sister state" relationship with the Henan Province and the signing of trade agreements.
The most visible benefit reaped by the previous trips was the participation by Henan Province in the 1904 Kansas State Fair. It was the first foreign country had set up a booth and participated in the annual event.
On the last trip, Carlin signed a letter of intent on behalf of Kansas to expand and formalize the state's business relationship with a conglomerate of Far East companies called C.P. Group, which has 21 offices in 12 countries in Asia and Eurone.
Carlin said that at the time there was potential for business ventures centering on Kansas *experiences in processing, production and milling*
The governor also signed a statement reaffirming Kansas' sister states tie with the Henan Province with Gov. He Zhukang, Carlin said he hoped to see an expansion of education and cultural exchanges between Kansas and Henan. He marked the anniversary of the relationship by establishing an exchange program for students in the two states.
