Emirates Post Group has delivered a message of support for the UAE's flourishing friendship with China after issuing commemorative stamps celebrating the ties between the two nations.
Following on from the successful three-day state visit by China President Xi Jinping to the UAE, three stamps have been released to mark 34 years of diplomatic relations between the Middle East and Far East countries.
The stamps bear three individual designs, one with President Sheikh Khalifa, another with the portrait of the President of China and the third displaying the flags of both nations.
The stamps were issued by EPG in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation.
