His Excellency Mr. Mark Kent, Briti

His Excellency Mr. Mark Kent, British Ambassador to the Kingdom of Thailand, the Ambassador delegation, Mr. Graham Balchin, Country Manager for Salamander Energy, respected representatives of Salamander Energy, distinguished colleagues,

Good morning.

It is my great honor and pleasure to welcome Her Britannic Majesty’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Thailand to visit our company THAI NIPPON STEEL & SUMIKIN ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION CORP., LTD.

I would like to thank His Excellency for taking his valuable time to visit us here; an occasion which for us is unprecedented and extraordinary.

We, TNS and our esteemed client, Salamander Energy, a British company operating in Thailand, have been collaborating for more than three years in the development of its Bualuang Field.

To date, we have completed two contract services and the third one is nearing completion of the onshore construction phase, the Salamander Energy BLPMB Process and Utility Modules. We will be delighted to give you a close look at these two modules as we travel around the construction site shortly.

We are confident that His Excellency will witness what can be achieved when multi-national teams work together in a true spirit of empathy and cooperation.

Without further ado, on behalf of both THAI NIPPON STEEL & SUMIKIN ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION CORP., LTD. and Mr. Balchin of Salamander Energy, I invite His Excellency Mark Kent and his delegation to tour our TNS Bangpakong Facilities.

Thank you.
