Vietnam to host FIAP Conference for second time
VOV.VN - The Vietnam Philatelic Association under the Vietnam Post Corporation will play host to a conference of the executive committee of the Federation of Inter-Asian Philately (FIAP) in Hanoi from March 10 to 12.
Delegates are set to discuss the deployment of a stamp collection plan in the Asia-Pacific region after a long period negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They will also focus on training for staff to improve their skills and select stamp collections for international stamp exhibitions.
Participants will be given a platform to examine a plan to help the Vietnam Philatelic Association become an official member of the annual exhibition programme of five ASEAN countries.
FIAP is a non-profit and non-political federation of philatelic societies in Asia and Australasia, founded in Singapore on September 14, 1974.
Currently, the federation has 31 members which are stamp associations of the Asian region, Australia, and South Africa.
Vietnam has been an official member of FIAP since 1993. In 1995, it hosted the FIAP executive committee, receiving great appreciation from the international community.
This is the second time Vietnam will host the event.
