Issued in 1968 by the Republic of Congo, this 70 Franc airmail stamp celebrates international friendship with the theme “Amitié des Peuples” (Friendship of Peoples). The vibrant design features five individuals from different cultural backgrounds holding hands around the globe, symbolizing unity and global cooperation. The background shows a stylized map and rising sun, reinforcing hope and harmony among nations. Designed by Balou and engraved by Bequet, it reflects the post-independence spirit of solidarity in Africa.
