Block - Joint issue with India

Description

Block
75-year friendship between Luxembourg and India -
Joint issue with India
 
In 2023, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Republic of India celebrate the 75th anniversary of the start of their diplomatic relations on 1 July 1948. As a result of cooperation in the steel sector, the first vice consulate was opened in Bombay in 1929. The opening of the Luxembourg Embassy in New Delhi in February 2002 has allowed to develop an amicable relationship between the two countries. Two sculptures by the Indian sculptor, painter and poet Amar Nath Segal, were chosen as motifs for the joint souvenir sheet. He set up a studio in Luxembourg in the late 1970s and lived and worked in both Luxembourg and India until the early 2000s.
