This broadcast celebrates Tunisia's participation in the 13th Mediterranean Games held in Bari, Italy. The illustration shows two athletes in action — an outstretched tennis player and a runner — flying over a map of the Mediterranean basin. We also see the games logo (three rings representing Africa, Asia and Europe) and a stylized mascot.
The Mediterranean Games are a major historic event for Tunisia, which often shines there. The stamp exalts the values ​​of healthy competition and fraternity between the peoples of the “White Sea area”, reaffirming the role of sport as a vector of diplomacy and rapprochement between the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean.
