On October 5, 2018 the State Committee of Information Technology and Communications of the Kyrgyz Republic puts into circulation a souvenir sheet with two Kyrgyz Express Post postage stamps: “Joint issue between Kyrgyzstan and Latvia. The 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations”.

The Kyrgyz and Latvian peoples both have ancient cultural traditions and an important part of these are folk epics. It is to these national epics of the Kyrgyz and Latvian peoples that the joint issue is dedicated. The postage stamps depict outstanding epic heroes: Kyrgyz Manas and Latvian Lachplesis, embodied in famous sculptural compositions.
