Governor to lead trade mission to Japan, Singapore

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and a group of economic development officials are heading to Singapore and Japan, where they will tout the state’s efforts in advanced energy technologies, explore "natural gas export opportunities" and meet with the prime ministers of both countries. State Economic Development Secretary Rob Black and Caroline Buerkle, deputy chief operating officer in the Governor's Office, will join Lujan Grisham on the trip, which starts Saturday and is being paid for by The New Mexico Partnership, an Albuquerque-based nonprofit that focuses on business recruitment efforts.
