Welcome to Tunisia Stamps

Montreal International Exhibition - Tunisia Day

This stamp illustrates Tunisia's participation in the 1967 Montreal Universal Exhibition, a major event dedicated to dialogue between cultures and the presentation of national identities on the international stage. The association between this emblematic figure and a landscape evoking the oasis underlines the deep link between culture, territory and lifestyles, while affirming the regional diversity of the country. Placed in the post-independence Tunisian context, this stamp reflects the desire of the young Republic to promote its cultural heritage, its craftsmanship and its Mediterranean and African identity, by presenting itself to the world as an open nation, proud of its roots and engaged in international cultural exchanges.
