EntSun News/11100545
ATLANTA ~ Atlanta - Governor Brian P. Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp are embarking on an international economic development mission this week to Chile and Peru. The purpose of the trip is to strengthen economic ties between Georgia and these two countries, as well as to promote job creation and growth in export markets for Georgia-made products.
During their visit, the Governor and First Lady will meet with high-ranking government officials and hold direct talks with companies that have operations in Georgia. This includes Arauco, a leading forestry and wood products company, which has maintained its North American headquarters in DeKalb County since 2016. They will also meet with CMPC USA, a subsidiary of CMPC, a major forestry and paper products company that has been based in DeKalb County for over 20 years.
In addition to these meetings, the Governor and First Lady will be joined by representatives from the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) to conduct trade-focused meetings with prospective partners. This will provide opportunities for Georgia exporters to connect with businesses in Chile and Peru.
