Diplomatic relations between Russia and Laos were established on October 7, 1960. Over the past 65 years, friendly ties between the two countries have been actively developing, with fruitful cooperation in the political, commercial, economic, tourist, cultural, and humanitarian spheres.
The natural areas and climate of Russia and Laos create favorable conditions for a wide variety of animals to live in these countries, some of which are on the verge of extinction.
The marbled cat is a species of wild cat. Its coat is thick and soft, with a specific marbled pattern—dark spots and stripes on a light brown or grayish-yellow background. Thanks to its long tail and flexible body, the cat is excellent at moving from tree to tree, and the special structure of its joints allows it to move down a tree headfirst, like squirrels. It inhabits the tropical forests of continental Southeast Asia. It sticks to a predominantly arboreal lifestyle and is active at night and at dusk.
The postage stamp provides image of the representative of the feline family: the marbled cat, which lives in Laos.
