The year 2013 marks the two
decades of ECO's expansion from a three-member regional forum to an expanded
regional grouping of ten countries. This happy family of key contiguous
countries of our region is bound together by many a commonality. The shared
ties of faith and culture, history and geography, also converging interests in
diverse fields lay at the root of the decision made two decades ago to create
this key regional organization.
ECO has grown in strength and
substance over the past two decades. Today, it encompasses key areas of trade
and transport, industry and agriculture, energy and communication as well as
education and banking. Public awareness about its activitiesplus the visibility
and uplifting of the image of the organization is highly crucial for its
continued success. Designing of a unifiedstamp by all the ECO Members for the
commemoration of 2 decades of cooperation would enhance the realization of
those objectives.
To commemorate Two Decades of Extended Cooperation of ECO, Pakistan Post is issuing a Commemorative Postage Stamp of Rs.25/- denomination, on November 28, 2013.
