to introduce a special set of stamps to mark the 11 th National
Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in Hanoi.

Addressing the ceremony, Le Doan Hop, Minister of Information and
Communications affirmed that over the past 65 years, the postal sector’s
development has been associated with important events of the country

history of Vietnamese revolutionary postage stamps.

The
special set of stamps feature a portrait of President Ho Chi Minh and a
Party flag on the background as well as outstanding achievements in the
industrialisation and modernization of the country.
