Mitsubishi Corporation CEO meets with Erna Solberg
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
President and CEO of Mitsubishi Corporation, Ken Kobayashi, met with Norwegian
Prime Minister Erna Solberg in Oslo today. Kobayashi took the opportunity to
reaffirm Mitsubishi Corporation's long-term commitment to Cermaq.
Mitsubishi Corporation acquired the Norwegian State's shareholding in Cermaq
last October, subsequently making the salmon farmer a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Tokyo-based trading and investment firm. In his meeting with Prime Minister
Solberg, the visiting CEO emphasized Mitsubishi Corporation's commitment to
further developing Cermaq as a leading global company in sustainable salmon
farming.
- Mitsubishi Corporation's strategy is to develop our business through investing
in businesses with growth potential. Salmon farming has significant growth
potential as it presents a sustainable alternative for fulfilling growing demand
for safe, healthy and tasty seafood around the world, particularly in Asia where
markets are rapidly expanding. We feel that Cermaq is an ideal partner due to
its strong commitment to sustainability, which fits well with Mitsubishi
Corporation's long-term perspective, said CEO Ken Kobayashi.
Mitsubishi Corporation is a global integrated business enterprise that develops
and operates business across a wide range of industries. The company has a long
history in seafood with strong market positions in tuna and shrimp and other
seafood businesses.
