VIETNAM POSTAGE STAMPS
Postage stamps of modern Vietnam reflect the glorious history of the Vietnamese people, tell about the long-term struggle against colonialists, about the dynamic development of the economy and culture. The new independent state-the Democratic Republic of Vietnam-was born on September 2, 1945. In 1946, in honor of the first anniversary of this event, a commemorative series of five stamps was issued with the image of DRW President Ho Chi Minh. This series opens the philatelic chronicle of the country.
