🇼🇸 Samoa Post -
6 November 2025 - Birds, joint issue with the postal service of the Chinese People’s Republic (see Blog 2827) - 2 stamps. Further information on the Samoan part of this issue as reported by superftg (see above) on Stamboards - the issue was lithographed by Government Printing Samoa and appears to be rouletted. Steven Zirinsky reports that the stamps are sold ungummed.
🇫🇯 Fiji Post -
4 February 2026 - World Stamp Exhibition, Dubai - 3 stamps. Previously issued stamps overprinted and surcharged. Rating:- *****.
The above set is now being offered on the internet site of the Spanish dealer Princestamps who attended the Dubai exhibition but it appears from a notice on the site that his return home has been delayed because of outbreak of the Middle East War and the Iranian regime’s attack on the United Arab Emirates. Good luck to him in returning home and a thought that there may well be a number of future philatelic consequences of the conflict.
The British government’s delay in allowing allied aircraft to use British bases including Diego Garcia and the subsequent Iranian regime’s attack on the British sovereign territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia highlight the importance of British Indian Ocean Territory remaining a British Overseas Territory and, potentially, continuing as a separate philatelic entity.
