Dubai: Emirates Post Group, in collaboration with Mohammed bin Rashid Library (MBRL), has launched commemorative stamps and a unique souvenir sheet marking the cultural evolution within the UAE. The move affirms MBRL’s significant role as a hub of knowledge, culture, and creativity in the UAE and Arab world.
During an exclusive launch event held at MBRL, the new stamps were presented to Mr. Mohammed Ahmed Mohammed Al Murr, Chairman of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library Foundation, in the presence of distinguished VIP guests.
Postage stamps have always been a witness to the events that nations hold and the achievements they make, reflecting identity, culture, and creativity that are passed from generation to generation. Releasing a postage stamp for the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library is a pioneering step that establishes its position as one of the leading cultural landmarks in the UAE and reflects its role in supporting and promoting knowledge and culture regionally and locally.
Mr. Al Murr shared.
“The post represents a bridge between the past and the present and shows that a simple stamp can tell a story of prosperity and progress. This stamp will be a valuable addition to stamp collections, as it highlights one of the most pioneering cultural and knowledge initiatives that played a significant role in the renaissance of the UAE’s cultural movement and marked a new chapter in its history,” the Chairman added.
Mr. Abdulla Mohammed Alashram, Group CEO of Emirates Post Group Company, commented that “this commemorative issuance embodies MBRL’s relentless pursuit of innovation and leadership across various disciplines of knowledge. We are honoured to support MBRL’s pioneering cultural endeavours that underscore our dedication to advancing the UAE’s global standing as a cultural and intellectual powerhouse.
