“The 75th anniversary is a significant milestone for the world’s biggest, and by far, the most crucial deliberative organisation. In the last 75 years, the United Nations has served as a platform for the nations of the world to come together under one roof and dream and work together towards a better future for humankind,” said S Jaishankar, External Affairs Minister. He further called the release of the commemorative stamp as a ‘befitting tribute’ to the 75 years of the world body adding that the UN has released postage stamps that resonate beyond Indians and Indians.
“The United Nations Postal Administration has also released stamps on themes that now resonate beyond India and Indians – such as the International Day of Non-Violence in 2009, the International Day of Yoga in 2017, Deepawali Stamps in 2018, as well as for Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th Birth Anniversary Stamp which was released last year,” he said.
“Let us work together to make this, one United Nations that we have, the best possible United Nations there can be,” he said.
According to a release by the External Affairs Ministry, the Department of Posts has previously released similar such commemorative postage stamps on the UN’s 9th, 40th and 50th Anniversaries in 1954, 1985 and 1995, respectively.
