Issuing Vietnam -Thailand joint stamp to mark diplomatic relations
The Ministry of Information and Communications in collaboration with the Vietnam Post Corporation held a ceremony to issue a Vietnam -Thailand joint stamp in Hanoi on August 5.
Vietnam and Thailand jointly issued a set of commemorative stamps in capitals of Hanoi and Bangkok on August 5 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the two nations’ diplomatic ties (August 6, 1976).
The stamp set features the traditional puppetry of Vietnam and Thailand.
The Vietnam -Thailand joint stamp, which includes two pieces, will be on sale until June 30, 2018.
The first introduces the legend of Hoan Kiem Lake where Le Loi returned his magic sword to the Golden Turle after his forces defeated the Ming Chinese army in 1428; while the second features Thailand’s folk puppet play, Hun Krabrok, by King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The set was designed by painters Nguyen Du from Vietnam and Pisit Prasitthanadoon from Thailand.
Addressing the joint stamp issue event, Deputy Minister of Information and Telecommunication Nguyen Minh Hong lauded the firm and effective cooperation between Vietnam and Thailand over recent years.
The joint stamp issue will help boost the mutual understanding between their peoples and strengthen postal collaboration between Vietnam and Thailand.
On the occasion, the Vietnam Post Corporation also launched ASEAN Stamp, a mobile application presenting postage stamps of ASEAN member states which can be scanned with AR technology in order to display related content vividly.
Vietnam and Thailand officially established diplomatic relations on August 6, 1976. In 2015, Thailand was Vietnam’s fifth largest trade partner and also the 10th largest investor in Vietnam with 392 projects worth 7 billion USD.
