"SEATTLE – In a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, a bipartisan group of five U.S. governors Tuesday signed an accord with six Chinese governors to promote clean energy technology and economic development.

'We have a shared opportunity and interest in helping lead the world in the transition to a clean energy future,' said Washington Jay Inslee, who hosted the meeting.

'It’s encouraging to see governors from different sides of the ocean, and different sides of the aisle, coming together to do our part to make sure our children will thrive in a forward-thinking economy that reflects our commitment to protecting our air and water,' said Inslee."
