target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.philarz.net</a></em> became obsolete. Over time, this old web site which is not supported/updated anymore is bound to disappear. For collectors interested in understanding the origin of the information dispatched in the catalogue, <a href="https://philarz.com/archives-original-site/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a special page displaying the blog pages and the document produced over the 25 years prior to the availability of the 2022+ catalogue was created</a>.

In total, this new section provides access to additional 3,300+ archive pages. The interest is mainly to get access to the history of the creation of some joint issues, to some monographs, to some specific articles and to some images in particular first day cancellations or non-approved joint issues. Of course, this is also the first time that the 2006 catalogue is on line.</p> <p>Have a nice time exploring <a href="https://philarz.com/archives-original-site/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">these older pages</a>.</p> <p></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <p></p> <p>In parallel, another chapter was opened providing access to a maximum of <strong><a href="https://philarz.com/publications/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dedicated articles </a></strong>that were published over the past 30 years.

At the occasion of the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of their diplomatic relationship, <strong>Türkiye (Turkey) </strong>and <strong>Qatar </strong>issued the same stamp representing the figure “50” and a logo (flower and sand rose). The Turkish stamp was released on <strong>September 27, 2023</strong>, while the Qatari stamp became available on <strong>November 5, 2023</strong>. Both stamps were released in form of same shape miniature sheets containing five stamps [(2×2)+1]. This new issue will be described in the catalogue under the entry code [<strong>C20230927</strong>]. Congratulations and thanks a lot, George.</p> <figure data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":200033749,"permalink":"https:\/\/philarz.com\/2025\/02\/15\/new-discovery-from-2023\/"}' class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4663" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/15/new-discovery-from-2023/20230927qatar/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927qatar.jpg" data-orig-size="453,316" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20230927qatar" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927qatar.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927qatar.jpg?w=453" width="453" height="316" data-id="4663" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927qatar.jpg?w=453" alt="" class="wp-image-4663" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4664" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/15/new-discovery-from-2023/20230927turkey/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927turkey.jpg" data-orig-size="576,401" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20230927Turkey" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927turkey.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927turkey.jpg?w=576" width="576" height="401" data-id="4664" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20230927turkey.jpg?w=576" alt="" class="wp-image-4664" /></figure> </figure> <p></p> <p>It is quite difficult to find information from Qatar. On January 31, 2025, Argentina released also a stamp celebrating the 50 years of relationship with Qatar. This Argentina stamp could be one half of a joint issue, but information from Qatar is missing. Any help here is welcome. In the meantime, you will find below the picture of the Argentinian stamp. It may be possible that the Qatari stamp will be released only in a couple of months from now.</p> <figure data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":200033749,"permalink":"https:\/\/philarz.com\/2025\/02\/15\/new-discovery-from-2023\/"}' class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4667" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/15/new-discovery-from-2023/20250131argentina/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250131argentina.jpg" data-orig-size="335,140" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20250131Argentina" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250131argentina.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250131argentina.jpg?w=335" width="335" height="140" data-id="4667" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250131argentina.jpg?w=335" alt="" class="wp-image-4667" /></figure> </figure> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <div class="categories-and-tags"><span class="cat-links"><a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/argentina/" rel="category tag">Argentina</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/topics/flower/" rel="category tag">Flower</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/qatar/" rel="category tag">Qatar</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/turkey/" rel="category tag">Turkey</a></span></div><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/15/new-discovery-from-2023/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-4645" class="post-4645 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-dance category-festival category-india category-israel"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/13/india-israel-eventually/" rel="bookmark">India – Israel, eventually</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://philarz.com/author/zzymm/">Richard Zimmermann</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/13/india-israel-eventually/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2025-02-13T07:24:54+01:00">13 February 2025</time></a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>The Holi (India) and Purim (Israel) Festivals’ stamps involving <strong>India </strong>and <strong>Israel</strong> were originally scheduled to be released on February 13, 2024, but India was not ready to participate at that time. The new date of May 7, 2024 was set as second possibility, but the Indian stamp was still not released and the Israel sheetlet remained an unilateral issue, described as such in the catalogue under the entry [<strong>N20240507</strong>]. Surprisingly, on this <strong>February 11, 2025</strong>, we learned from several sources (<em>Souvik Ghatak, India; Kenneth Sequeira, Singapore; Dov Lask, Israel – thanks to all of them</em>) that finally, the two souvenir sheets became available, proven through first day covers bearing both the same issue date of February 11, 2025. The Israel souvenir sheet described so far was printed and ready since February 2024. It appeared on different blogs, but was not available for sale. No Israel cancelled cover dated before February 2025 has been seen so far, and therefore this new date of February 11, 2025 becomes the official day of first issue, leading this issue to be identified as Twin. Obviously, this issue deserves now a full description in the catalogue under the entry [<strong>T20250211</strong>].</p> <div

</header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>This is a long time announced joint issue, postponed several times, but only recently proven to be part of a twin issue, when the Italian stamps’ designs became available. The stamps involving <strong>Slovenia </strong>and <strong>Italy </strong>were originally planned to be issued on April 28, 2024, then postponed to January 25, 2025, before finally being issued on <strong>February 6, 2025</strong>. </p> <p>Nova Gorica is a town in western Slovenia, on the border with Italy, created through the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty that established a new border between Yugoslavia and Italy, leaving nearby Gorizia outside the borders of Yugoslavia. Hence, Gorizia is the older part of the city, located now in Italy. Both cities have been designed Capital City of the Culture 2025, celebrated by this joint issue. Both countries have issued a souvenir sheet with two stamps showing each one city with, for Gorizia, an aerial view of the Castle, a fortification dating back to the 9<sup>th</sup> century, built on the hill overlooking the city, and, for Nova Gorica, the facade of the Palazzo della Stazione, the oldest public building in the city that stands out on Piazza Europa, built in 1906 for military purposes on the Vienna-Trieste railway line.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="4632" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/10/gorizia-and-nova-gorica/20250206italya/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206italya.png" data-orig-size="1656,1086" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20250206ItalyA" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206italya.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206italya.png?w=605" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="671" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206italya.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-4632" style="width:500px" /></figure></div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="4633" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/10/gorizia-and-nova-gorica/20250206sloveniass/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206sloveniass.jpg" data-orig-size="600,386" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20250206Sloveniass" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206sloveniass.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206sloveniass.jpg?w=600" loading="lazy" width="600" height="386" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/20250206sloveniass.jpg?w=600" alt="" class="wp-image-4633" style="width:500px" /></figure></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <div class="categories-and-tags"><span class="cat-links"><a href="https://philarz.com/category/topics/architecture/" rel="category tag">Architecture</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/topics/capital-city-of-culture/" rel="category tag">Capital City of Culture</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/italy/" rel="category tag">Italy</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/topics/monument/" rel="category tag">Monument</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/slovenia/" rel="category tag">Slovenia</a></span></div><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/10/gorizia-and-nova-gorica/#comments">2 Comments</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-4365" class="post-4365 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-bangladesh category-catalogue category-colombia category-europa-cept-posteurop category-india category-mexico category-telecommunication category-vietnam"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/" rel="bookmark">Catalogue 2025 updated</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://philarz.com/author/zzymm/">Richard Zimmermann</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2025-02-02T08:47:06+01:00">2 February 2025</time><time class="updated" datetime="2025-02-02T08:48:03+01:00">2 February 2025</time></a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>The <a href="https://philarz.com/catalogues/"><strong>new catalogue of Joint Stamp Issues 2025</strong></a> is now on line with the section of the stamps issued during the year 2024 fully updated. In order to keep an average of about 100-130 pages per volume facilitating a quick downloading, the year 2024 needed to be separared from the 2022-2023 period (Volume XV) and a new volume numbered XVI, containing years 2024-2025 was created.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-medium"><a href="https://philarz.com/catalogues/" target="_blank" rel=" noreferrer noopener"><img data-attachment-id="4434" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/2025-16/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-16.jpg" data-orig-size="663,939" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="2025-16" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-16.jpg?w=212" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-16.jpg?w=605" loading="lazy" width="212" height="300" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-16.jpg?w=212" alt="" class="wp-image-4434" /></a></figure></div> <p></p> <p>This new updated catalogue, the 2025 version in 16 volumes, has now reached 1,900 pages. It contains over 2,280 entries among which more than 1,580 can be considered as true joint issues (unique, se-tenant, twin, concerted or parallel). It describes in total more than 16,100 items, and it is illustrated with above 8,900 pictures, providing also more than 35,100 quotations. This upgrade allowed also to make a comparison of the evolution of the number of issues of joint stamps for statistical purpose, which leads to a graph looking as follow:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4426" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/2025graph/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025graph.jpg" data-orig-size="1024,633" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="2025graph" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025graph.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025graph.jpg?w=605" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="633" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025graph.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-4426" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p></p> <p>It appears that after a strong progression over the years 1980-2010, the number of new yearly issues reached a kind of plateau over the past 15 years, with an average of 40 issues per year. The progression affected only the twin joint issues while the number of parallel/concerted issues remained stable over the past 50 years. However, the number of different products for each issue such as additional souvenir sheets, booklets, miniature sheets or mixed cancelled products, or the number of total stamps per issue did progress as well. In parallel, we have also to observe that the number of abusive joint issues (issues involving a high number of countries not fully controlled by the local postal administrations, but printed centrally) has increased. We will still continue to identify those issues separately, and even if we continue to have them described in the catalogue for the sake of completeness (gray color and italics characters), it will remain up to the individual collectors to decide if they want to include and purchase them. Typically, these stamps will not gain value over time, will be difficult to resell and are usually not accepted in exhibitions.</p> <p>Joint issues are a mirror of the political state of the world. The increasing number of conflict situations is not in favor of a progression of the number of joint issues. Several planned issues were cancelled during the past five years, due to political concerns. My wish for the next year(s) is to be able to report soon a first joint issue e.g., involving Israel and Iran, North and South Korea or Ukraine and Russia, which would become the best sign of a progression toward world peace. </p> <p></p> <p>Among the major improvements, note that at least 25 new items describing mixed FDCs have been added over the period 2021-2024. We own a huge thank to Jaap Sarelse (The Netherlands) for his great work and time spent over the past 30 years in providing this information, finding the items and even trying to create such mixed products whenever possible. The existence of mixed first day cancelled products remains the ultimate proof of the joint character as both postal administrations must have agreed for the production and existence of such items.</p> <p></p> <p>On top of the additions of new 2024 issues described in previous blog pages, one has to note the following:</p> <p>On <strong>September 14, 2024</strong>, <strong>Bangladesh </strong>re-issued an older stamp from 2001 with a handstamp “DHAKAPEX”. This issue is now described in the catalogue under the original stamp heading [<strong>T20011009</strong>] together with all the other stamps of the same series. This gave the opportunity also to update the texts and images of these stamps in the catalogue as this entry was only partially illustrated. As much as 75 new images over three pages were introduced to illustrate this entry.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4371" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/20240914bangladesh2001/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20240914bangladesh2001.jpg" data-orig-size="166,200" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20240914Bangladesh2001" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20240914bangladesh2001.jpg?w=166" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20240914bangladesh2001.jpg?w=166" loading="lazy" width="166" height="200" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20240914bangladesh2001.jpg?w=166" alt="" class="wp-image-4371" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p>The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is celebrating during the year 2025, its 160<sup>th</sup> anniversary. The UPU did send on October 28, 2024 a circular to all its members, asking that if they want to commemorate this anniversary, they can use the new logo of the event. The way this letter is presented clearly shows that this is not a call for a joint issue. So, at this stage and in absence of further notice, stamps that will be produced during the year 2025 and bearing the below logo will not be considered as joint, as they are simply commemorative stamps based on individual initiatives.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4378" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/itu160logo/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/itu160logo.jpeg" data-orig-size="422,302" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="ITU160logo" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/itu160logo.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/itu160logo.jpeg?w=422" loading="lazy" width="422" height="302" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/itu160logo.jpeg?w=422" alt="" class="wp-image-4378" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p>On the contrary, the design of the <strong>2026</strong> PostEurop stamps to be issued at the occasion of the 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of PostEurop, was released by beginning of January 2025.

The Mexican stamps were issued on December 20, 2021, but the Colombian stamp became only available on <strong>January 25, 2022</strong>. However, it appears that the Colombian FDC and the mixed FDC are still cancelled from December 20, 2021. This issue which was initailly considered as a Concerted one under the heading number <strong>C20211220</strong> is now reported as the twin issue <strong>T20211220</strong>.</p> <p>The same modification affected the stamps issued on <strong>October 16, 2023</strong>, involving <strong>Vietnam </strong>and <strong>India</strong>. Small amounts of Vietnam stamps became available at one post office at the original day of issue (April 28, 2023), but stamps were retrieved after sale of the first batch of 4,000 units. India announced three times the release of their stamps until they became eventually available on October 16, 2023. These delays led to consider initially this series as Concerted. However, the mixed FDC of this issue is cancelled with dates from October 16, 2023 for both countries and therefore these stamps are filed as twin [<strong>T20231016</strong>]. Covers with Vietnamese stamps cancelled before October 16, 2023 are rarities.</p> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <div class="categories-and-tags"><span class="cat-links"><a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/bangladesh/" rel="category tag">Bangladesh</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/ji-general/catalogue/" rel="category tag">Catalogue</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/colombia/" rel="category tag">Colombia</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/topics/europa-cept-posteurop/" rel="category tag">Europa - CEPT - PostEurop</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/india/" rel="category tag">India</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/mexico/" rel="category tag">Mexico</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/topics/telecommunication/" rel="category tag">Telecommunication</a> <a href="https://philarz.com/category/countries/vietnam/" rel="category tag">Vietnam</a></span></div><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/catalogue-2025-updated/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-4430" class="post-4430 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-art category-flag category-history category-indonesia category-italy category-not-approved category-peru category-philatelic-exhibition category-serbia category-unilateral"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/unilateral-issues-2024-conclusion/" rel="bookmark">Unilateral issues 2024 – Conclusion</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://philarz.com/author/zzymm/">Richard Zimmermann</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"><a href="https://philarz.com/2025/02/02/unilateral-issues-2024-conclusion/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2025-02-02T06:43:17+01:00">2 February 2025</time></a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>In the previous 2024 <a href="https://philarz.com/2025/01/10/unilateral-issues-update/">Unilateral Issues page</a>, there was a mention of an Indonesian – Serbia potential issue. The Serbian stamp was issued on November 4, 2024 at the occasion of the 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of relationship between both countries (1954-2024). Serbia produced one stamp showing the Yugoslavian ambassador Pavlič handing over letters of credit to President Sukarno in 1954.</p> <p>The Indonesian stamps eventually were released on December 17, 2024. The two se-tenant stamps show, on the first one, the presidents Sukarno and Tito shaking hands, with a drum, on the second one, flags of both countries. Even if the structure of the miniature sheets are quite similar, the designs and content are completely different. There is no claim of a joint character by either of the postal administrations. From the explanations provided by the Serbian post, there was clearly a collaboration between them and the embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Belgrade. Also, the postal administrations seems to have found an agreement about general content, selection and distribution of objects, size of stamps and form of the miniature sheet. However, the final items as well as the different dates of issue lead to define these stamps as non-joint and they will be reported in the catalogue under the name [<strong>N20241104</strong>].</p>

The Peruvian stamps had been issued as early as <strong>August 29, 2024</strong>. without clear information from the Italian post side.

A Kazakhstan stamp, in miniature sheets of 8 units, was released as early as <strong>September 30, 2024</strong> with a topic related to the 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary of relationship depicting local Gastronomy (camel milk, kumis, dates), but above all with a stamp bearing the words “Joint issue Kazakhstan – Morocco”. Eventually, the Moroccan stamp was released on <strong>December 25, 2024</strong>, in sheetlet of 10 stamps.

On August 28, 2024, Peru issued two stamps, so far without counterpart from Italy. In the 2025 Italian philatelic program, we discover now that Italy intends to issue stamps on January 30, 2025, celebrating the same event, but even claiming it should be joint. Italian Post just informed that there was a delay as they were not ready by the time of issue of the Peruvian stamps. As Peru issued their stamps unilateraly (without joint character claim), this announcement looks surprising. We have not seen the design of the Italian stamp and we will probably have to wait until January 30, 2025 to define the real characters of this stamp and decide afterwards how to consider them. There is one important point however to take in account: there should be no confusion between joint stamps and a joint event. So, decision to integrate these stamps in the catalogue, is still on hold.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4351" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2024/12/21/unilateral-issues-2024/20240829perufdc/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20240829perufdc.jpg" data-orig-size="900,546" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="20240829Perufdc" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20240829perufdc.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20240829perufdc.jpg?w=605" loading="lazy" width="900" height="546" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20240829perufdc.jpg?w=900" alt="" class="wp-image-4351" /></figure> <p></p> <p>The situation is clearer with the <strong>Peruvian – Dominican Republic</strong> issue. On <strong>November 13, 2024</strong>, Peru also issued stamps at the occasion of the 150<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the relationship between both countries. It appears that Dominican Republic issued a single stamp the same day, reproducing the buildings that are reproduced on the Peruvian stamps.

This item is based on an illustrated Mauritius first day cover celebrating the 200<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati (1824-2024), on which was added an India stamp with exactly the same design itself cancelled from December 12, 2024. By further inquiries about this document, Jaap Sarelse could confirm that this stamp release is <strong>not</strong> a joint issue. The design was made available by the Organization supporting the anniversary events, which any post office could use to issue a stamp. It happens that both countries used the logo alone to fill the space within the stamp which resulted to very similar items. Collectors created mixed FDCs only on the basis of the stamp similarities, but postal administrations never collaborated. Suriname issued also stamps at this occasion, using only the same portrait but not the full logo.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img data-attachment-id="4387" data-permalink="https://philarz.com/2025/01/10/unilateral-issues-update/2024mauritius/" data-orig-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024mauritius.jpg" data-orig-size="668,333" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="2024mauritius" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024mauritius.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024mauritius.jpg?w=605" loading="lazy" width="668" height="333" src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024mauritius.jpg?w=668" alt="" class="wp-image-4387" /></figure></div> <p><strong><br></strong>During this search activity, a new joint issue appeared that has been forgotten so far: <strong>Morocco </strong>and the <strong>United Arab Emirates</strong> celebrated historical relationship through identical stamps and souvenir sheets.

</header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>By end of this year 2024, we have to come to the conclusion that some originally announced joint issues will probably remain unilateral, meaning that the partner country dropped from the collaboration. Here is the list:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><s>India</s> – Israel : 2024 (May 7) – Purim Festival -This stamp was originally scheduled to be released on February 13, 2024, but India was not ready to participate. The new date of May 7, 2024 was set, but the Indian stamp was still not available and information about the final decision from India is missing</li> <li><s>China (PR)</s> – Russia : 2024 (August 24) – Diplomatic relations – Panda. The issue was moved to August 24 from originally August 4, 2024, but no associated Chinese stamp was issued</li> <li><s>Korea (South)</s> – Uruguay : 2024 (September 10) – Uruguay issued two se-tenant stamps; [2px5] printed at 2,500 pairs, but no information is since available from South Korea</li> <li>Kazakhstan – <s>Morocco</s> : 2024 (September 30) – Topic: 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary of relationship – Gastronomy. Despite the fact that the Kazakh stamp bears the words “Joint issue Kazakhstan – Morocco”, no information is available so far from the Moroccan side</li> <li><s>Indonesia</s> – Serbia : 2024 (November 4) – Topic: 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of relationship – The Serbian stamp was issued, but no news from Indonesia</li> </ul> <p>These stamps will remain in the catalogue with short description, with limited details and under the category ‘Unilateral – Not approved [<strong>N</strong>]’. THis is to avoid further questions in the future, but also as space-keeper in the case these issues transform into Delayed Concerted [C] issues during the year 2025.</p> <div

became available:</p> <p>The 40<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Peace treaty between <strong>Argentina </strong>and <strong>Chile </strong>“1984-2024”, was celebrated by identical stamps issued on <strong>November 25, 2024</strong> by Chile and <strong>November 29, 2024</strong> by Argentina. Stamps represent the figure “40” with the colors of the national flags. In 1984, the Vatican State played the role of mediator during the process that led to the signature of this treaty. This is the reason why Vatican is also involved in this joint issue, but with a different stamp issued on <strong>November 25, 2024</strong>. The Vatican stamp represents Pope John-Paul II signing the treaty on November 29, 1984.</p> <div

It seems this is still not the last update. This complementary list is divided on the basis of the same structure as the one provided <a href="https://philarz.com/2024/11/15/upu-150th-anniversary-a-first-update/">earlier, in the first update</a>:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Countries of Type A (Twin [<strong>T1</strong>], same date, same design), additional country: <strong>El Salvador</strong> (<strong>October 9, 2024</strong>).</li> </ol> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-rectangular"> <figure class="aligncenter size-medium"><img src="https://philarz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20241009elsalvador.jpg?w=300" alt="" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p>2. New country of Type B (Concerted [<strong>C1</strong>], different dates, same design): <strong>Nepal </strong>(<strong>December 17</strong>).</p> <p>The <strong>Dominican Republic</strong> stamp was issued <strong>October 26, 2024</strong> and therefore has to be moved in this sub-category. Same for <strong>Lybia </strong>which stamps were issued on <strong>October 22, 2024</strong> instead of October 9, 2024. In <strong>Iran</strong>, two stamps appeared also, printed in miniature sheets of 4 stamps but in fact made of an illustrated label with the UPU anniversary logos, attached to a stamp with text only. It seems that these stamps correspond to (privately) personalized stamps with limited printing runs (<em>additional information is needed here</em>). As belonging to this sub-group, these two stamps will be described in the catalogue in italics characters.</p> <div

These stamps were issued already on <strong>May 30, 2024</strong>.</p> <p><em>Special miniature sheets including eight different countries have been produced and should be considered as se-tenant issues [S]. These stamps were printed with two different denominations, as perforated and non-perforated miniature sheets, at very low printing runs (100 units for each of the two perforated miniature sheets and 30 for the non-perforated ones). The countries involved in these items include Burundi, Central Africa, Djibouti, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Togo (with stamp type B for this country). Due to the small printings runs, these miniature sheets must be considered as material to abuse collectors. They will be listed in the catalogue but in italics, just for information purpose. The printer of these countries also decided to create two postal cards per country with the same indicia (postal stationery) as pane stamps and souvenir sheet stamps, sold at very high prices, which must also be considered with the same status (abusive).</em></p> <div

The selected work illustrates a gap of hope showing a flag and doves in the midst of the destruction and devastation recorded in Gaza.<br>Its launch was scheduled to take place on <strong>November 29, 2024</strong> on the occasion of the international day of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The first stamp of this series was already issued on <strong>October 7, 2024</strong> by <strong>Syria</strong>. <strong>Jordan </strong>and <strong>Qatar </strong>released their stamp on <strong>November 28, 2029</strong>. The other countries including <strong>Algeria</strong>, <strong>Morocco</strong>, <strong>Oman</strong> and <strong>Tunisia </strong>did release their stamps at the expected date. A few other countries including Egypt, Iraq, Libya and Palestine were supposed to participate as well, but no information is available to date. Any additional information from these countries is welcome.</p> <p>Products released so far include stamps in panes or miniature sheets (from 4 to 20 stamps), souvenir sheets, all with one single stamp and of course first day covers. Jordan stamps are also available as non-perforated. Surprisingly, <strong>Djibouti </strong>has now to be added to this series. The country issued three stamps (among which two se-tenant) and a souvenir sheet. Djibouti stamps were released on <strong>November 11, 2024</strong>. However, these Djibouti stamps were released in very small amounts (maximum of 1,500 stamps from the smallest denomination, 800 from the highest denomination), as perforated but also all as imperforated, in miniature sheets, souvenir sheets (also perforated and non-perforated) and even proofs and postal cards. Indeed this is a very opportunistic issue from a country that was initially not involved and that tries to make money out of collectors. These products will be described in the catalogue, but in <em>italic characters</em> (each one to decide if interested or not – note that a complete set including all perforated and non perforated products as well as FDCs, will cost for this country the total of at least €550 (!) without counting full panes, based on prices displayed on Delcampe). </p> <p>All these stamps will be reported in the catalogue under the entry [<strong>T20241129</strong>]. Thanks to Med Achour Ali Ahmed, Algeria, and Enzo Cafaro, Italy, for providing details for some of these issues.</p> <div

Me neither, of course, but a careful exploration of my older files led me to re-discover both series of stamps and their images in the list of pending issues, that were not considered as joint so far.</p> <p>On <strong>September 7, 2017</strong>, <strong>Uruguay</strong> issued a miniature sheet with three triplets of two different stamps and a central label, with stamps chessboard ordered. These stamps were issued at the occasion of the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the relationship with Belarus. During this year of 2017, Belarus issued several stamps celebrating the same 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of relationships with other countries, including China, Poland, Latvia, India, Kazakhstan, Russia, Romania and Moldova, among which two translated in true joint issues: India [T20170912] and Kazakhstan |T20170916]. During the year 2018, Belarus issued at similar occasion three additional joint stamps with Kyrgyzstan [T20181018], Azerbaijan [T20181119] and Uzbekistan [T20181123a].</p> <p>Among all these different products, the anniversary involving Uruguay was initially considered as unilateral, also because at that time it was difficult to retrieve information from Uruguay on the net (which was solved in the meantime, Uruguay Post does have a very nice web site describing all their products) . Now, upon this request, it appeared not only that there was more than a common anniversary, but also that the illustrations were close to identical. The stamps of both countries reproduce the Bolchoi Theater of Belarus in Minsk and the Solis Theater in Montevideo, Uruguay. This clearly demonstrates that the two postal administrations have worked together to agree on the topic and the final pictures. They just did not agree on the same date of issue, Belarus issuing its stamps on <strong>November 15, 2017</strong>, so that thestamps are now filed as a Concerted issue under the entry [<strong>C20170907</strong>]. The catalogue Year 2017 has been updated accordingly (<a href="https://www.calameo.com/read/006555730c497ce187a44">Vol 13 – page 1528-1529</a>). Thanks again Eric.</p> <div data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":200033749,"permalink":"https:\/\/philarz.com\/2024\/11\/24\/discovery-belarus-uruguay-2017\/"}' class="wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery
