Myanmar Philatelic Society donated a "Burmese Harp Model" as a special prize, which was awarded to an exhibitor from China. Along with the exhibition, philatelic seminars were also held. I attended the "First Day Cover" seminar and the "Picture Postcard" seminar, both presented by Glen Stafford. Additionally, I attended the FIAP Exco meeting as an observer, which was held from 2 to 4 PM on July 6, 2024.
