Mexico is Kansas’s largest trading partner and in December, overtook Canada to become the U.S.’s largest trading partner. WTCouncil will open World Trade Week as has been traditional with an announcement through the governor’s and mayor’s proclamations. It will also announce this year’s recipients of the Dharma de Silva Study Abroad Scholarship, sponsored by the de Silva family and the WTCouncil for WSU students. WTCouncil annually sponsors about 11 students for study abroad.
