Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts has unveiled a new Governor’s Council for International Relations.
At a news conference in Lincoln, Ricketts said the council will bring business, agriculture and education groups together to expand overseas trade opportunities and develop new international partnerships for the state.
“It will help us really leverage those relationships and resources that we all have—that we’re all putting toward international development—and focus on how we can develop new strategies for increasing trade, seeking that direct foreign investment back here in our state that creates those jobs, and looking for other ways to raise the profile of Nebraska around the world,” Ricketts said.
