2. Response to the Open Petition Letter
   In compliance with the Marubeni Group Basic Policy on Human Rights, we have responded* to the open petition letter, as follows:
   “Through MHP, Marubeni has continued discussions with each stakeholder (local residents, local NGOs, relevant authorities), and under the guidance of the Government, Marubeni selected a candidate alternative site, and has completed return of the said site to the Government, and thus with respect to providing the former residents with the said site, we understand that the procedures are being carried out under the leadership of the Government. We will continue to follow the progress.”
