The Hongkong Post announced Friday said it will issue a set of two Postage Prepaid Postcards on December 13 to mark Hong Kong's hosting of the Sixth World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference.
One of the postcards depicts the large letters "WTO" with the letters containing a colorful collage of scenes from Hong Kong and the Chinese characters for Hong Kong in a rainbow pattern.
The other one uses the large letters "HK" and the Chinese name of the WTO in a rainbow pattern.
Commenting on this special postcard issue, Postmaster General Allan Chiang said, "Hong Kong is pleased and proud to host this internationally significant event, and Hongkong Post is delighted to commemorate this important milestone for Asia's world city with a unique postal product."
The selling price is 10 HK dollars (about US$1.29) per set of two postcards. The postcard set will be available for sale from December 13.
