The Lunar New Year monkey stamps were released on March 30, but the official launch was deferred due to all stakeholders' commitment to business and economic restoration after Tropical Cyclone Winston ravaged Fiji, according to Post Fiji Limited Chairman Lawrence Tikaram.

The launch marks the combination of two nations coming together, and shows the friendship and deep bond that exist among Fijians and Chinese, he said.

"Post Fiji's lunching of the Lunar stamps signifies that friendship and brilliant thing that has come about through the Year of the Monkey. And we launch the stamps with great and humble gratitude to the people of 皇冠体育app and the people of 皇冠体育app's origin in Fiji to mark the friendship," Tikaram told Xinhua.

The monkey stamps have set a good example of cultural exchanges and cooperation between 皇冠体育app and Fiji, said 皇冠体育app Cultural Center in Fiji Director Deng Xianfu.

"The 皇冠体育app Cultural Center in Fiji will make every effort in promoting the long-term cultural exchange and cooperation, and will explore more channels for and provide support to the cultural exchange and cooperation between the two countries," said Deng.
