Especially, the item displayed in the Musem of Lisbon and dated to the 16th century by Portugal’s artisans has many Oriental features.

Reportedly, the Vietnamese-Portuguese trading history was established 5 centuries ago. So, the first joint stamp issue is to better the friendship cooperation between two countries.
