I am offering a vintage commemorative stamp from China, "Asian Parliamentarians' Conference on Population and Development." Symbol: J.73 Issue Date: October 27, 1981 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China Background of the Issue: In August-September 1979, under the auspices of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), representatives of parliamentarians from 58 countries gathered in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, to investigate and discuss global population activities and development issues. The conference called on parliamentarians from various regions of the world to hold their own conferences, share situations, and exchange experiences to promote the development of population activities in each country. After the conference, parliamentarians from Asian countries proposed holding an Asian regional population conference in Beijing, China, and decided on October 27, 1981, as the date. To commemorate the Beijing conference of the Asian Parliamentarians' Conference on Population and Development, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China decided to issue this commemorative stamp. The catalog name of this stamp is "Harmony." The design is an abstract representation, combining a mother and child, wheat ears, an airplane, and buildings, symbolizing "clothing, food, shelter, and transportation," and representing the development of society, economy, and culture, and the improvement of people's lives. The overlapping colors create shapes like trees and flowers, symbolizing the "harmony" of population activities and development and a bright future. The conference emblem in the center features the silhouette of Tiananmen Square, indicating the Beijing venue. The abbreviation ACPPD is the English name of the conference, and the olive leaves surrounding the Earth represent the support of the United Nations. This is a valuable item with both historical background and artistic merit, making it a highly collectible piece. This is a used item from the time of issue. It appears to be in good condition for a used item from that era. Please check the images for details. No returns or exchanges. Shipping costs will be covered by the seller. P.S. As a general rule, I do not accept price negotiations, but this does not apply to bulk purchases.
