Its is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the World Stamp Championship Exhibition INDONESIA 2012. We already held several International Philatelic Exhibition previously in 1993, 1995, 1996 and 2008, we hope we will repeat the success this year in World Stamp Championship INDONESIA 2012 and we will make it the biggest exhibition in Indonesia philatelic history.

INDONESIA 2012 follows an honourable Asian tradition of recent years in holding memorable major world class philatelic event. This exhibition has been over three years in preparation. Today we present over 2,500 competitive frames plus a Literature class with 80 entries. With the number of applications from collectors exceeding the number of frames available to the Organizing Committee, it is regrettable that a number of entries had tobe declined.

The Exhibition includes the World Stamp Championship Class. In this class alone there are eleven entries of 88 frames. The classes of Postal Stationary (26 exhibitors), Aerophilately (25 exhibitors), and Revenues (15 exhibitors) have been exceptionally well patronized.

Organizing Committee also had invited 14 rare collections of international-known philatelists. They are rarely seen and real rarities in the stamp world.

By hosting the exhibition, we will be able to exchange experiences, study and learn together with philatelists all over the world and to increase the friendship among one another. On behalf of Indonesian Philatelists Association, I cordially thanks Mr Tay Peng Hian, President of FIP, Mr Surajit Gongvatana, President of FIAP and all the distinguished guests from various countries for their directions. I also thank the kind assistance and hardship dedicated from various national commissioners, Jury members and the members of the Organizing Committee.

Welocme to all of you to visit Jakarta Convention Center to enjoy the wealthy philatelic gala at  INDONESIA 2012.
