60th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Tunisia and Japan

This stamp celebrates the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Tunisia and Japan (1956-2016). Walid Zouari's illustration delicately merges the symbols of the two nations: the Japanese cherry blossom (Sakura) and the Tunisian jasmine intertwine on a background evoking the respective flags. The message underlines a lasting friendship and fruitful technical and cultural cooperation, recalling that Japan was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Tunisia, laying the foundations of mutual respect between the distant East and the Maghreb.
