The bonds of friendship between Oklahoma and Kyoto are deep, Kyoto Governor Nishiwaki told CG Larsen during their first meeting on June 8. The Governor noted that Kyoto celebrated 40 years of Sister State/Prefecture ties with Oklahoma last year. These sub-national connections are at the heart of US-Japan friendship, strengthen the Alliance, and are a key to increased business partnerships and investment. @nishiwaki_taka

Last week’s London Investment Mission was about showcasing Oklahoma to the world, and Tulsa Ballet helped do exactly that with their powerful “Made in America” London performances.
While I was meeting with international businesses, Tulsa Ballet was highlighting the creativity, culture and talent that continue to put Oklahoma on the global map. It was a great reminder that economic development and the arts go hand in hand.
Whether through business, tourism or world-class performances, Oklahoma is making an impact far beyond our borders.
