Gulf News reported that Mr Khalid Bin Khalifa Al Thani CEO of Qatargas last week led a delegation to Japan to meet senior officials from its customers and buyers in the energy industry to express his and the company's compassion for the Japanese people at this tragic time and to review what Qatargas could do to assist its customers and buyers to in turn help the Japanese people.

The visit was well accepted and appreciated by Qatargas' customers and buyers where the Qatargas CEO passed the message that Qatargas, the world's largest LNG producer under the guidance of Dr Mohammad Al Sada Qatar's minister of energy and industry and chairman of the board of directors of Qatargas continues to pledge its support and commitment to Japan and its people.

Mr Al Thani said that "Qatargas stands ready to provide all the support to its long term partners and foundation customers in Japan to meet any increased requirements for LNG at this time. Japan is our foundation customer, who has strongly supported the economic development of Qatar. It is now our turn to continue to provide all the support we can. I am in Japan this week to show our support to our customers and to find out firsthand what is needed. However, I can confirm that Qatargas has already increased supplies of LNG to a number of our long-term buyers in Japan. I believe Qatargas is uniquely placed to help Japan during its moment of need."
