\nThe visit is a direct result of the CfG\u2018s trade mission to the USA in May last year.
\n\u201cThe CfG led a trade mission to the USA last year to showcase opportunities for investment in Geelong, together with cultivating a relationship with the Commonwealth of Casson said.
\n\u201cWe had a very positive meeting with both the Governor of Virginia and Secretary Jones and as a result, just one year on, it will be Geelong\u2019s turn to host their delegation.
\n\u201cThe visit will provide an opportunity to explore commerce, trade and tourism links between our city and Virginia.
\n\u201cWe look forward to warmly welcoming Secretary Jones and his delegation to our great city.\u201d
