Tadaaki Naito 内藤 忠顕

Dear Mr. Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel,

As chairman of the NYK Group, please allow me to offer my utmost congratulations to Abdul Latif Jameel on the 75th anniversary of its founding.

Almost 50 years ago, in 1971 to be exact, NYK began shipping Toyota vehicles and automotive parts from various origins to Abdul Latif Jameel mainly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  Amid stagnation in the early 1990s and a boom in the 2000s, NYK remained committed to delivering vehicles of the highest quality.  Today, Abdul Latif Jameel is the No. 1 car distributer in Saudi Arabia, and as a result of the synergy with Abdul Latif Jameel, NYK has grown to become one of the largest car carriers in the Middle East and around the world. At NYK, we have the greatest respect for the historical partnership that we have developed with Abdul Latif Jameel over the years.

Since our founding in 1885, the NYK Group has been a part of the development of the world economy and the subsequent improvements in quality of life for people around the globe. We are proud of the role that we have in supporting the lives of so many, and we carry out our responsibilities by creating value for society while meeting its requirements for safety and environmental protection. We are truly grateful for the trust that we have been accorded over the years, and particularly our everlasting partnership with Abdul Latif Jameel.

The commercial relationship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Japan has brought benefits to us all, and we are proud that the Abdul Latif Jameel and the NYK Group have helped the economies of the two countries thrive, our cultures become closer, and goodwill among our people blossom.

Abdul Latif Jamee has my enduring wishes for many more years of prosperity and triumphs.

Very respectfully yours

Tadaaki Naito
Chairman
NYK Group
