In an increasingly interconnected world, Canada\u2019s opportunity to grow in peace and prosperity rests on the strength of our country-to-country bonds. These relationships have shaped our national identity, both at home and abroad, and they\u2019ve furthered the sophistication of our economy, and the diversity of our culture and people. This April, Canada Post will issue an international rate commemorative stamp to celebrate Canada\u2019s strong bilateral relationship with Israel\u2014a friendship that spans six decades and is marked by shared values, common interests, and strong political, economic, cultural and social ties. The stamp, which marks the first joint issue between Canada and Israel, will be cancelled in both countries\u2019 capital cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

A key strength of Canada and Israel\u2019s partnership is the extensive network of social bonds\u2014from Canada\u2019s large Jewish community (which stands at about 350,000) to dual Israeli-Canadian citizens\u2014that have given rise to cooperation on many fronts, including culture, education, business and tourism. These strong informal ties have inspired the design for the stamp, which features groups of human figures forme\"\"d in the shapes of Canada\u2019s Maple Leaf and Israel\u2019s Star of David. These \u201cpeople\u201d come together to meet in the middle, a meeting that symbolizes and celebrates the 60 years of friendship that the two countries have shared.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough illustration, we were able to communicate the rich topic of diplomacy between two nations,\u201d explains designer Karen Henricks of the Toronto-based firm, q30 design. \u201cComplex topics like this can be challenging to summarize in one small design. We worked with illustrator Yarek Waszul, whose simple yet conceptual style lends itself perfectly to this topic and the medium.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the Canadian and Israeli postal administrations are proud to take part in this special joint stamp issue. As Yaron Razon, Director of the Israel Philatelic Service says: \u201cIt has been said that stamps are \u2018paper ambassadors\u2019 that spread the message of their country on letters around the world. What could be a more symbolic and fitting way to express 60 years of cooperation and friendship between Israel and Canada than a joint stamp issue\u2014the merging of each country\u2019s \u2018paper ambassadors.\u2019 I am delighted to be part of this project.\u201d Jim Phillips, Director of Stamp Services at Canada Post adds, \u201cJoint issues like this one are a form of diplomacy between postal administrations; they provide great opportunities to share with and learn from one another. It has been a pleasure to work on this issue with Israel Post.\u201d\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSixty years ago, on May 11, 1949, Israel and Canada established diplomatic relations and began building a fruitful cooperation. Over the years our countries have stood by each other and have continually strengthened our commitment as partners and friends in many fields, including commerce, science and technology, culture, education, public safety and trade,\u201d says Miriam Ziv, Ambassador of Israel. \u201cThis beautiful stamp reflects the special bond between our two nations and the people behind this strong cooperation and warm friendship, based on our shared values and commitment to democracy, diversity and the rule of law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
