.@LtGovToland and I welcomed members of the @JETROUSA delegation & Consul General to Kansas last week. Our partnership and economic ties are stronger than ever, driving growth and prosperity for both our regions. Together, we'll continue this momentum.
On 4/17, CG Yanagi travelled to Lawrence & Topeka, KS. He attended a reception hosted by @GovLauraKelly to welcome an investment mission by JPN companies visiting KS. CG gave a speech about contributions of JPN companies to the economy & society of the U.S. and state of KS.
Wrapping up my trip to Germany with @KansasCommerce and @kcchamber, I visited Merck KGaA and met with PM&P, Kansas' new representatives in German-speaking Europe. I'm proud to continue building on our unprecedented economic development success with our partners abroad.
Inspired by the brilliant students shaping our future. STEM is crucial, and we are committed to ensuring future generations have the resources to excel in the tech-driven future we're building in #KS. Thanks to @NASA, @PanasonicNA & @JCCCtweet for hosting such a fantastic event.
Kansas is proud to be home to 4 of the 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools. Our strong schools guarantee an even stronger future for our state. Congratulations to the recipients of this prestigious award.

I'm in Japan this week to recruit more businesses and create more jobs for Kansans. The $17.4 billion in private investments we've seen since I took office would not be possible without Japanese companies like Panasonic and Kubota.
Yesterday, I visited @Marubeni_Corp in Tokyo. Their over $35 million investment in Creekstone Farms significantly improved the Arkansas City facility. In 2020, Creekstone Farms won our Exporter of the Year Award thanks to savvy global trade and outstanding leadership.
I enjoyed visiting with Panasonic leaders and other businesses in Kyoto and Osaka yesterday. We're showing companies around the world why Kansas is the best state in country to do business.
Grateful to be in Tokyo at the 53rd Midwest US-Japan Assn with remarks from @GovLauraKelly on investment Japanese firms have made in KS - Takako in Hutchinson, Creekstone Farms in my hometown of Ark City, and now Panasonic, with exports to Japan exceeding $1 billion and growing.
This week I joined @RepRonEstes & @JerryMoran at @salondubourget to explore ways we can continue to boost the aerospace industry in Kansas, which contributes $7 billion per year to our economy.
If you're at the #PAS2023, visit us this week to learn about more than 450 world-class suppliers who can work to revolution your manufacturing needs. Discover the possibilities with our team, @KansasCommerce and kiosk partners at Booth #E148 in Hall 3.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts said he always supports players from the state of Texas, especially Patrick Mahomes.
He also said he's enjoyed KC and he enjoyed 'Steve Jacks Barbecue' to which @HaroldRKuntz3 told him is called Jack Stack Barbecue.
