I’m very pleased that we signed the Comprehensive Agreement on Collaboration and Cooperation with Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan. I believe, in providing public services, it’s very important to collaborate and cooperate with businesses as they are engaged in various activities. Therefore, it’s really meaningful to sign this agreement with Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan, and we’re delighted about it. We’d appreciate your cooperation in operating cultural and sports projects, and also in other various fields such as environmental measures, industrial and tourism promotion.
