UAE - Emirates Post Group, in collaboration with India Post, has issued a commemorative stamp to celebrate the UAE's 50 years of union and India's 75 years of independence. The stamp highlights the "strong and historic relations" between UAE and India.

The stamp was launched by Abdulla M. Alashram, Group CEO of Emirates Post Group, who presented it to Sunjay Sudhir, India's Ambassador to the UAE.

Taking to Twitter, Indian Embassy in UAE wrote, "Amb @sunjaysudhir and @EmiratesPostUAECEO launched the physical copy of the India-UAE Joint Commemorative Stamp, celebrating 75 Years of India's independence, UAE Year of the 50th and 50 Years of India-UAE diplomatic relations."

The initiative highlights the bilateral collaboration between the two countries, which was recently underpinned by the signing of a historical partnership agreement to strengthen economic and trade relations.

Sunjay Sudhir said, "The year 2022 is very important for both India and the UAE … this (year) also … (marks) the 50 years of the diplomatic relations between India and the UAE. This stamp is a testimony to the strong and deep historical relationship between India and the UAE that go back centuries from the history of spices and pearl trade to today's world when more than 3.4 million Indians have chosen to live in the UAE. It is also a tribute to the people of the two countries as they are the backbone of our partnership”.

"Today, this historical relationship has transformed itself into a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, bringing the two countries and its people, closer than ever before."

Alashram said the commemorative stamp is aimed at promoting economic, commercial, cultural, and historical relations between the two countries.

"The cooperation between the UAE and India has long served as a model for international relations and strategic partnerships, sharing strong historical, geographical, and economic ties. Emirates Post Group commits to supporting the economic and trade relations by employing our leading expertise in post and parcel solutions, offering businesses, industries, and investors innovative logistics services."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan earlier in February released the Joint Commemorative Stamp on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of India's independence and marking the 50th year of UAE's foundation.
