POST Fiji has launched its 2026 Year of the Horse Lunar New Year stamps, marking a unique artistic fusion of Chinese tradition and Fijian national identity.
During the unveiling, Post Fiji CEO Isaac Mow emphasised that the event was more than a product launch.
“Today (Monday), we gather not just to unveil stamps, but to honour a timeless bond, one that bridges ancient lunar wisdom with Fiji’s modern spirit,” Mr Mow said.
The new collection features a visual narrative cantered on cultural integration.
The design incorporates the Jade Horse from the Shanxi Museum in China alongside two iconic Fijian symbols: the Collared Lory (national bird) and the Tagimoucia (national flower).
He said these stamps served as “miniature ambassadors of cultural harmony, connecting Fijians of all backgrounds and carrying our island pride to collectors across the globe.”
The Year of the Horse is said to symbolise “strength, vitality, freedom, ambition and unbridled energy,” qualities Mr Mow believed will inspire the nation to “gallop forward with optimism and grace.”
He extended his gratitude to the China Cultural Centre in Fiji and the Post Fiji Philatelic Bureau for their collaboration, and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to preserving postal heritage while embracing modern innovation.
