📋 Staff Comments

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs source says that the ceremony was on August 31, 2012 but Embassy source says that the ceremony was on September 3, 2012.Intent coded as mixed, as the donation incorporates representational symbols of recognition/friendship (as stated by the ambassador) in addition to the developmental nature of 100,000 stamps for postage. As a result, the Flow Class is OOF-like.
