The content of each stamp or stamp collection must be clear, in line with our traditional culture and must be permitted to publish by the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Earlier, farmer Tran Huu Hue of An Giang province, owns stamps of great historical value, including two collections: “Hoang Sa soldiers in the 17th and 18th century” and “Hoang Sa and Truong Sa in ancient maps”.
“As a stamp collector, I got the idea of using stamps to promote Vietnam’s sovereignty over its sea and islands. I sent envelopes with stamps of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa to many countries and got them back with the stamps sealed by those countries in recognition of Vietnam’s sovereignty over those archipelagoes,” Hue elaborated.
Hue was the first person in Vietnam to introduce Hoang Sa and Truong Sa stamps to the world to promote Vietnam’s landscape and people. Currently, he has 76 stamps of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa sealed by 60 countries.
