VANCOUVER - British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell is set to depart to Asia on Saturday on what's being described as the province's largest green business delegation.

Campbell says the trip, which will take him to China and South Korea, is part of the province's strategy to establish trade offices in critical overseas markets.

In South Korea, he'll meet with several leaders, including the prime minister, and he'll open B.C.'s first trade council in Korea.

In China, he'll also open the B.C.-Canada pavilion.

Campbell says he hopes to showcase B.C.'s clean technology, and the province's expertise in green design.
