JEFFERSON CITY • Little more than a month after returning from a trip to Cuba, Gov. Jay Nixon is heading out of the country again later this week.
The Democrat, who is in his final year in office, will lead a bipartisan delegation of Missouri officials to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Switzerland from July 8 to July 16 to "boost exports and attract new foreign investment to Missouri."
Nixon is slated to meet with the American Chamber of Commerce in Dublin, as well as with officials from AB Mauri, a bakery ingredients producer that recently located its North American headquarters in St. Louis.
The governor also will meet with St. Louis native Kevin O'Malley, who is the U.S. ambassador to Ireland.
