Stamp Marks 10 Years of Sino-Singaporean Industrial Park

China Post and Singapore's SINGPOST have jointly published a stamp to mark the 10th anniversary of the founding of Suzhou Industrial Park, the biggest cooperation project between China and Singapore.

 

The stamp, with a face value of 8 jiao (0.8 yuan), was published by the Beijing Stamp Plant on Monday.

 

The design of the stamp is a sculpture named "Harmony" against the backdrop of the Suzhou Industrial Park. The sculpture, standing on the west bank of Jinji Lake in the park, was erected in June 2001.

 

The governments of China and Singapore signed an agreement on building the Suzhou Industrial Park, in east China's Jiangsu Province, on Feb. 26, 1994. Construction of the park began on May 12 that year.

 

The industrial park has flourished after 10 years of development, with a gross domestic product of 36.5 billion yuan (US$4.41 billion) in 2003. The park registered a revenue of 4.6 billion yuan (US$556 million) last year.

 

The two sides issued a set of two stamps featuring the park in 1996.
