I served my duties as a Commissioner for Myanmar.  This is the first time for Myanmar to participate in World Stamp Exhibition under the patronage of FIP.  Myanmar participants entered two exhibits under the competitive classes. 

National Commissioners

My own exhibit titled "The Development of Letter Sheets of Burma (Later Myanmar) 1946-2001" participated under the postal stationary class.   It scored 86 marks and won Large Vermeil medal.  Since the last national exhibition at which it attained qualifying status beyond national level, this exhibit has been improved all the way to FIP LV medal.

The other exhibit under Literature class is the book written by Dr Kyaw Myint Maung.  The book named "The Articles on Stamp Collecting Hobby" scored 73 marks and won Silver medal.  Both exhibits will be entered into FIAP Singpex 2019 exhibition as well.

Although it is the first time participation for Myanmar, exhibitors grab nice ranking medals.  During the palmares night, Mr Tay Peng Hian, the Honorary President of FIP and Consultant to CHINA 2019, mentioned and acknowledged the first participation of "Myanmar" in FIP World Exhibition and welcomed us.
