Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History, shared: “Postage stamps are not simply a means of payment in mail delivery, but also a special “cultural business card”. On a small area, each stamp contains rich messages about the history, culture, and important milestones of the country. Postage stamps have become a means of promoting the image of the country to the world, fostering friendship and understanding between nations”.

Through the exhibition, the organizers hope to affirm the role of postage stamps as a "cultural messenger", not only preserving history but also expanding the bridge of exchange, connecting Vietnam with the international community.
