On October 5, 2018, a souvenir sheet dedicated to the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Latvia and Kyrgyzstan was issued by the Latvijas Pasts in cooperation with the Kyrgyz Post.

The 18th of March 1993 is considered to be the day of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Latvia and Kyrgyzstan; therefore Kyrgyz Express Post has initiated the issue of a joint release of the two countries.

The stamp of souvenir sheet has been designed by the Moldovan artist Daria Maier who has depicted the heroes of the national epics of Latvia and Kyrgyzstan on the stamps. One of the stamps features the main hero of the Latvian epic poem Lāčplēsis by Andrejs Pumpurs, and the other stamp portrays Manas the Great, the hero of the Kyrgyz epic poem.

The print run of the ssouvenir sheet is 25,000 copies and the face value of each stamp is € 1.10, which corresponds to the cost of sending a regular Class A letter weighing over 500 grams within Latvia.

The first day cancellation of the new philatelic release is scheduled to take place in Riga post office No. 50 located in the shopping centre Origo.
