Further to the postcard from Singapore, Ravindra also kindly sent me a cover with a joint issue, Singapore-SriLanka, both countries having established formal relations on the 27th of July 1970.

Coral reefs and mangroves, two delicate habitats that both countries enjoy and hopefully protect to the best of their possibilities.

The two 1.4 Dollar stamps, also issued in a souvenir sheet,  illustrated with beautiful photographs of a reef in Singapore and a mangrove swamp in Sri Lanka, saw the light of day on 27JUL2021.

Incidentally, and as a curious note, in 2021 there was also a joint Portugal-Sri Lanka issue.

Bohomȧ  sthoothi, Ravindra!
