U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will host a global business conference next week in an effort to promote American prosperity, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland announced on Friday.

The State Department Global Business Conference, the first of its kind, will focus on the work that "the U.S. government does to promote American prosperity," Nuland told reporters at a regular briefing.

She said the meeting which is slated for Tuesday and Wednesday next week will bring together senior officials from the U.S. business support organizations from over 100 countries, the U.S. private sector, and executives focused on international business.

Senior U.S. government leaders from the White House, the Department of State, departments of commerce, treasury and energy, the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, will also attend the conference.

"The conference is designed to underscore the work we do to promote U.S. business abroad, increase U.S. exports, and attract investment into the United States, creating American jobs," Nuland said.
