    LETTER FROM THE CHIEF Dear Collectors,

    Welcome to the New Year. I hope that you have all enjoyed the holiday season.

    We have some very exciting stamp issues to tell you about in this bulletin. In February, UNPA is proud to be continuing its very popular Flag stamp series. Eight new flags stamp designs of Member States whose flag has changed since they were first issued by UNPA will be featured on the two stamp sheets. UNPA has also re-designed the Flag folder to accompany the series with a new updated look.

    In March, because of its extreme popularity with collectors, UNPA will continue its stamp series on International Dance. The six stamp sheets feature dance styles from the regions of Polynesia, North American Indian Tribal Dance, Russian ballet, Japan, Brazil and Italy.

    UNPA is also issuing some special event sheets which include the Chinese Lunar Calendar – Year of the Rooster; International Day of Happiness – The Smurfs; and a three stamp mini-sheet to commemorate the 2017 international stamp exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.

    For the remainder of the year, UNPA will be continuing its very popular Endangered Species stamp series and World Heritage series featuring the Silk Road. Other stamp issues that are planned will commemorate the International Day of Peace and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    As always, we thank you for your interest in United Nations stamps and we welcome your comments and suggestions.

    I wish all of you the best for a healthy and happy New Year.

    Thanawat Amnajanan

    INTERNATIONAL DANCE 2017

    On 23 March 2017, UNPA will issue six new mini-sheets of six stamps for the International Dance series. This is the second set in the series. The first was issued in 2016 to commemorate International Dance Day.

    According to UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), dance promotes in a

    lively manner reciprocal knowledge and respect of diver-sity. Dance is both an art form and a method of communica-tion in cultures around the world.
