Natasha Meli Daudey, Ambassador and Resident Representative of Malta to the IAEA, and Dazhu Yang, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Technical Cooperation, signed Malta’s Country Programme Framework (CPF) for the period of 2018–2023 on 10 October 2018. A CPF is the frame of reference for the medium-term planning of technical cooperation between a Member State and the IAEA and identifies priority areas where the transfer of nuclear technology and technical cooperation resources will be directed to support national development goals.
Malta has been an IAEA Member State since 1997. Its 2018–2023 CPF identifies four priority areas:
- Human health
- Regulatory infrastructure
- Cultural heritage
- Water and the environment
