On behalf of everyone at NTT Group, I would like to express our deep appreciation for the support that we have received from everyone over the years, especially our shareholders. Over the past 30 years, NTT Group’s business structure has undergone significant changes. We have shifted from a business structure centered on fixed-line phones to one focused on mobile phones, the Internet, and entering into the field of global cloud services. In the continuously evolving ICT market that various players have entered, NTT Group will keep aiming to become a true “Value Partner” that customers continue to select. NTT was selected as a Gold Partner in the telecommunications services field for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. In addition to contributing to the successful operation of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, we will create new services in cooperation with various business partners and continue to pursue new endeavors with an eye towards the future. I would like to conclude this message by thanking our shareholders in advance for your continued understanding and support.
