Thank you AlpheccaStars and Clive very much, but can I omit "we" in "We warmly welcome the president of the ABC corporation, Japan "? In the past I often saw many banners hung across the streets that said " warmly welcome the President of the Republic of India" when the president came to my contry for an official visit.
I am confused about it

Hi,
perhaps the people who write the banners don't speak great English. Omitting 'we' sounds rather odd.
You could say 'A warm welcome to the President . . . ', but this seems more wordy and less direct, to me.

If you don't state a subject, then the verb is in the imperative mood. The subject is "you". "You" would refer to the person reading the banner. So are you asking the readers to welcome the president. That's cool... but.....
What happens when the person reading this is the president? Then you are asking him to welcome himself!

Thank you Clive and Aphecaccstars.How about " Welcome to the president...."?

Clive's suggestion is good - this looks fine for a banner
A warm welcome to President Michio Kariya of Nikon Corporation, Japan
or - this is more formal
Welcome to President Michio Kariya of Nikon Corporation, Japan
