In 1979, UNESCO designated it as the International Year of the Child, a significant occasion marked by Burma with the issuance of two commemorative stamps on December 1st. These stamps, featuring denominations of 25 Pyas and 50 Pyas, were thoughtfully designed by U Khin Hlaing.
Fast forward 44 years to 2023, Myanmar Post once again commemorated the 44th anniversary of the International Year of the Child on December 1, 2023. Notably, the artist behind the new stamp remained the same—U Khin Hlaing, infusing continuity and artistic cohesion across the years.
