India

India Post has collaborated a number of times with the postal administration of other countries to release a joint issue.
India Post has released 35 Joint issues until Dec 2023.

Year Postal administration Topic Note / Image Date of issue
1990 Indo-Soviet friendship issue Paintings on -
Indian elephant and maharaja on a throne, India
Red Square, Moscow, Russia
August 16, 1990
1995 India-South Africa cooperation issue 2 stamps of Mahatma Gandhi
October 2, 1995
2002 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, Japan issued as part of series 'Japan and South Asia in 21st Century' Japanese stamp design has a markedly different design than the Indian issue. India issued two stamps depicting the classical dances Kathakali of India and Kabuki of Japan, while Japan issued a single stamp of the Taj Mahal
For few months now, there is a discussion going on if the stamps issued in 2002 by India Post and Japan Post with the title “50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between India and Japan” is really a joint issue or not.

Some one filed an application to India Post under the Right to information (RTI) act of 2005, to confirm the joint issue status and to provide a copy of memorandum of understanding signed between both postal departments.

Indian Post provided the following information about the issue presently referenced in the catalogue under [P20020412a]:
1) This is not a joint issue
2) since it was not a joint issue they could not provide a copy of memorandum of understanding between India Post and Japan Post (see copy of answer below).
