I grew up in New England, but the best lobster I ever had was on one of the fishing docks on Prince Edward Island, Canada. That was many years ago, so I don't know if those waters are still as clean and cold as they were then.

There will be "a very good marriage" and "a very beautiful fit" between Alaska and China through this project, stated Meyer.

"China is a very large and growing market for natural gas, for LNG, and the distance between Alaska and China is relatively short. It's also direct as there's no third nation or canal that ships have to go through," he elaborated.

The project is "one of the most significant infrastructure and revenue projects" for Alaska, "so I think that trade relationship will significantly improve the state economic condition," he added.

"So I look at this project very much as a catalyst and I look at it as the fuel for growth for Alaska," the executive said.

Meyer is accompanying Governor Walker next week on a trip to China for further promoting Alaskan tourism, seafood as well as the LNG project.

The purpose of the trip is to "continue to solidify" the relationship between China and Alaska at both government and business levels, he said, "This trip is about relationship building."

"We have put forth a very good proposal for China that can provide long term, reliable and secure natural gas supply for generations," he said. "We have also been in discussions with Chinese companies about cooperation in engineering and construction of the project."

The Chinese companies they have been dealing with "are gaining a much better understanding" of the Alaskan advantage and the benefits that can be gained "through a direct relationship" with Alaska, Meyer added.
