　　Welcome Speech by Chairman of Temasek Holdings at the Opening of

　　Temasek’s Beijing Representative Office

　　Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

　　Good evening!

　　We are gathered here tonight to renew friendships and forge stronger ties, and to thank our friends and partners in China. Our Beijing Representative Office started operations in September last year and tonight we celebrate its official opening. Thank you all for being here with us.

　　Today, China has become the world’s third-largest trading nation, behind the United States and Germany. Her foreign reserves are at record highs. There is robust flow of foreign investments into China. Many Chinese enterprises are doing well. Several are emerging regional or global champions as they expand their network and operations outside China.

　　With China’s peaceful emergence, business opportunities for both Chinese and foreign companies have flourished. More than 200 million Chinese have also been lifted out of poverty.

　　Temasek is an investment company anchored in Asia. We are optimistic about Asia’s transformation. Through our various investments, we hope to both benefit from and contribute to Asia’s continued development.

　　We are indeed fortunate to have the sincere support and encouragement of our many friends and partners in China. We feel very welcome to be a part of China’s long-term future. We are also deeply appreciative of the invaluable guidance and kind support which the Chinese government and her various departments and regulatory bodies have given to us. They have reinforced our confidence and commitment to China.

　　Like China, we too have crossed many rivers of change and transformation by feeling the stones on the way. We know we have many more rivers to cross in the journey ahead, but through cooperation with our Chinese colleagues and friends, we will succeed in transforming lives and building a future. We are committed to adding value to our portfolio companies here. With your support, we will strive to be an active participant in China’s economic growth as we continue to root our presence here.

　　Once again, thank you for taking time off to be here with us tonight. I wish you all a pleasant evening. (336)
