Correios launches Brazil–Sweden bicentenary stamp and commemorative postmark
Correios launched a stamp and commemorative postmark for two hundred years of diplomatic relations between Brazil and Sweden on 29 October 2026. The ceremony took place at the official Swedish residence in Brasília.
Participants included Sweden’s ambassador to Brazil, Karin Wallensteen, Sweden’s ambassador for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law, Irina Schougin Nyoni, and Correios business director Hilton Cardoso.
Graphic designer Daniel Ferreira created the artwork using vector illustration. Correios announced that the issue would be sold through its online shop, application and principal post offices. The release did not provide a denomination, stamp dimensions or production quantity.
The anniversary marks diplomatic relations established in 1826. At the launch, Wallensteen recalled correspondence between Empress Amélia de Leuchtenberg, the second wife of Pedro I, and her sister Josefina, Queen of Sweden and Norway. Their exchange of letters provided a historical connection between the ceremony’s postal theme and the relationship between the two countries.
The official announcement describes cooperation spanning commerce, education, science, technology, innovation, defence and sustainability.
