As close neighbouring countries, Singapore and Indonesia enjoy warm and friendly ties and are each other's major trading partners. Ministers and officials from both countries also work closely together bilaterally, as well as at regional and international fora, such as ASEAN, to pursue common interests. In this stamp issue, selected tourist attractions of both countries are featured:

Merlion - Singapore's most enduring symbol that has the head of lion and the body of a fish. Its name is derived from a combination of Singapore's ancient name, "Temasek" (meaning "sea town") and original name, "Singapura" (meaning "Lion City").

Sentosa - originally known as Pulau Blakang Mati, was setup by the British as a military fortress until the island was handed back to the newly independent Singapore Government in 1967 and was chosen to be developed into a holiday resort for both local visitors and tourists. The public was invited to suggest names for the island and "Sentosa" - meaning peace and tranquillity in Malay - was eventually chosen for the island resort in 1972.

Singa Ambara Raja Statue - the landmark of Singaraja City on the northern part of Bali. This statue uniquely depicts a winged lion holding a big corn in one of its front leg. The statue was officially inaugurated on 30 Mar 1971 to signify the historical struggle of Singaraja people against Dutch colony.

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesian Miniature Park) - is a recreational spot with splendid cultural highlights of the grandeur of Indonesia. Officially opened on 20 Apr 1975, it covers nearly 250 acres of area at the eastern side of Jakarta. The park is a summary of Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life of each provinces of Indonesia encapsulated in separate pavilions with collection of architectures, clothing, dances and traditions.
