A coterie of Salt Lake County officials is in Taiwan this week with the goal of forging relationships in the southeast Asian economic powerhouse.

Democratic county Mayor Peter Corroon and council members Jim Bradley, a Democrat, and Marv Hendrickson, a Republican, left on the junket Thursday and will return Tuesday night, Corroon spokesman Jim Braden said.

The economic-development trip is not being paid for by county taxpayers, and Braden said he wasn't sure whether the bill was being footed by the Taiwanese government or private donors.

Utah officials have made trips to Taiwan in the past. The Taiwanese fly legislative leaders to Asia every two years for such meetings.
