Ritter says talks going well on Asia trade mission

DENVER (AP)--Gov. Bill Ritter says his Asian trade mission is going well and state officials have made significant progress urging the Japanese to increase imports, including beef.

He's also pushing for a nonstop airline route between Denver and Tokyo, promoting the state as a prime tourist destination.

In a conference call from Tokyo, the governor says he talked to Japanese officials about renewable energy technology. The governor has made his new energy economy a keystone of his administration, forming a coalition that includes government facilities, industry and education research centers.

After touring Japan, the governor and his entourage plan to visit China, another major export destination.
