OLYMPIA - Governor Chris Gregoire will host Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington State in April. President Hu will visit the state at Governor Gregoire’s request (see attached).

“I am delighted to host President Hu in our wonderful state and show him a warm Washington welcome,” said Governor Gregoire. “Washington is the most trade dependent state in the nation and many Washington companies have a strong presence in China.”

China is Washington’s third largest export market - Washington State shipped $3.1 billion in products to China in 2004 – and exports include wheat, apples, pulp, leather hides, medical instruments and Boeing aircraft. Washington is the only state with two trade offices in China, located in Guangzhou and Shanghai.

The ties between Washington State and China extend beyond trade; a sister state/province relationship was formed between the state and Sichuan in 1982, and many of Washington’s colleges and universities have student and faculty exchange programs with schools in China.

Governor Gregoire received confirmation from Consul General Peng Keyu of the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco that President Hu had accepted her invitation to stop in Washington state on his way to Washington, D.C.

The dates are not yet confirmed, but President Hu will visit Boeing and Microsoft.

Governor Gregoire and the First Gentleman will greet the president at the airport and will host an official state dinner for him. This will be President Hu’s first trip to Washington State.

Back in September 5, 2005: President Hu Jintao of China was planning to visit washington, but due to Hurricane KATRINA. President Hu Jintao of China sent sympathies of the Chinese people on the hardships suffered by Americans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to President Bush And revisited September 13, 2005.

It is positive to see US and China's relationship has been growing and China created an economic system that is more important to America and Washington States. It has been a strong interest with China relationship.

Washington state is the second leading exporter to Mainland China. Hong Kong is also a major Washington state trading partner. China is an important market to our aerospace workers, family farms, software engineers and those who work in our ports and airports.

Washington state has one of the first state based China trade organizations, several high profile sister city relationships, and the State of Washington maintains a trade promotion office in Shanghai, China.
