(20 May 2008) With regard to the 2008 RCARO Temporary Staff Programme, we are pleased to announce that the following applicants are selected.

1. Mr H M N R Bandara, Atomic Energy Agency, Sri Lanka
2. Ms Vu Thi Lieu, Vietnam Atomic Energy Commission, Vietnam
3. Ms Benya Rajabhandaraks, Office of Atoms for Peace, Thailand
4. Mr Ali Arman, BATAN, Indonesia

Please understand that the RCA Regional Office can invite only a couple of persons a year within the budget allocated to this program, although we have almost a dozen applicants for this year. Considering the purpose of this program, we preferred to selecting someone who has experience in the RCA business and international cooperation, and not more than one from a country to give opportunities to more Member States.
