Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration went on a nine-day, multicountry economic mission to East Asia in October.
They called the 2023 New Jersey East Asia Economic Mission, sponsored and fully funded by Choose New Jersey, an opportunity to “reintroduce” the state to key Asian economies, including Japan and South Korea.
