VIET NAM POST on 8 August 2015 issued a first day cover stamp to commemorate the 48th founding of ASEAN. Shown here is the stamp affixed to a maxim card showing the distinctive landmarks in each of the ASEAN nations.
Artists Vu Kim Lien and Nguyen Du from the Viet Nam Post Corporation (Viet Nam Post) designed the official stamp and postmark. A contest was organised by the Thailand Post with joint efforts from the Posts of other nine ASEAN countries to select a design which was won by these two Vietnamese artists.
The ten flags of the ASEAN country members make up the main pattern of the stamp, stitched together to become a flower, said Vu Kim Lien, adding that yellow cornflowers are stylised behind the main pattern to represent the substantial potential of ASEAN members to develop their agricultural economies.
The Vietnamese designs, closely reflect the ASEAN’s motto of “One vision, one identity, one community”, and play a crucial role in enhancing Viet Nam’s prestige in culture and art, said Nguyen Quang Vinh, Deputy Head of the postal stamp board under the Viet Nam Post.
