New set stamps on Vietnam-Lao relations issued
A new set of stamps featuring the close friendship between Vietnam and Laos was issued in Hanoi and Vientiane on July 18 as part of a programme to celebrate Vietnam-Laos Friendship and Solidarity Year 2012.
These stamps were designed by Vo Luong Nhi, an artist at the Vietnam Stamps Company.
The set include two designing samples. One stamp, costing VND2,000, features the portraits of late Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh and late Lao President Kayson Phomvihan, with the image of the flags of the two countries behind. A second stamp, on sale for VND12,000, features the image of the One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi and That Luang Stupa in Vientiane- plus the national flowers of Vietnam (lotus) and Laos (champa).
The event aims to consolidate the close friendship between Vietnam and Laos that has been nurtured by generations of leaders and peoples of the two countries./.
