Post Fiji has proudly unveiled its 2026 Year of the Horse Lunar New Year stamps, marking a unique fusion of Chinese cultural traditions with Fijian national identity. The launch took place on Monday, led by Post Fiji CEO Isaac Mow, who emphasized that this occasion goes beyond a conventional product launch.
Mow remarked, “Today, we gather not just to unveil stamps, but to honour a timeless bond, one that bridges ancient lunar wisdom with Fiji’s modern spirit.” The newly designed stamp collection narrates a story of cultural integration, featuring the Jade Horse from the Shanxi Museum in China along with two cherished symbols of Fiji: the Collared Lory, its national bird, and the Tagimoucia, the national flower.
Describing these stamps as “miniature ambassadors of cultural harmony,” Mow articulated the design’s intent to connect Fijians from various backgrounds and to bolster island pride among collectors worldwide. The Year of the Horse is associated with attributes like strength, vitality, freedom, ambition, and unrestrained energy—qualities Mow believes will enable the nation to “gallop forward with optimism and grace.”
He also expressed gratitude to the China Cultural Centre in Fiji and the Post Fiji Philatelic Bureau for their essential collaboration in this project. Mow reaffirmed Post Fiji’s dedication to maintaining its postal heritage while welcoming innovative approaches. This initiative not only enhances the local cultural landscape but also fosters stronger ties between Fiji and China, embodying a spirit of unity and hope for a prosperous future.
