| Introduction
At the 3rd Executive Board Meeting held in China on May 31,
2002, the board members decided to hold the 2nd Annual General
Meeting from February 6th through 8th in Dhaka Sheraton Hotel,
Bangladesh.
The ARCCNM could get the great attention from
the member states through the successful 1st Annual General
Meeting. We are sure that the next 2nd Annual General Meeting
will be a much more productive and successful event for the
promotion of nuclear medicine in Asia regions and for the
enhancement of our international status on a worldwide level.
The 2nd Annual General Meeting of ARCCNM will
be held by the cooperation of Bangladesh Society of Nuclear
Medicine and international symposium will also be held during
the meeting. This meeting will be a great opportunity to exchange
cutting edge information and network each other. We would
appreciate members' constant support to the ARCCNM's future
activities and look forward to meeting you all in Dhaka.
