On 11 December, exactly one hundred years after its foundation, the unveiling ceremony of the two commemorative stamps jointly issued by the Vatican City State and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg took place at the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology.
With this issue, the Postal and Philately Service of the Governorate of Vatican City State “intends to pay tribute to an anniversary of great significance in the history of the Holy See’s international relations and in the life of the Catholic community in Indonesia itself.” This was emphasized by Archbishop Emilio Nappa, Secretary General of the Governorate, during the presentation of the postage stamp dedicated to the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the Republic of Indonesia. The ceremony took place in the conference room of the Vatican Museums on Friday afternoon, 14 November.
