DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) _ Gov. Terry Branstad says Iowa is fortunate to have strong ties to the new president of China, which could create business opportunities.
Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds on Thursday congratulated Xi Jinping on assuming the presidency of the world's most populous country. Branstad says Xi will be ``someone who is very good to work with'' and he looks forward to visiting him soon.
Branstad's ties to Xi date back to a 1985 diplomatic trip that Xi took to Iowa, during Branstad's first stint as governor. Branstad visited with Xi on a trade mission in 2011.
Xi returned to Iowa last year during a trip as vice president, stopping in Muscatine to meet with those who hosted him in 1985 and in Des Moines to meet with state leaders.
