North Korea released a new collection of commemorative stamps Friday for the 10th anniversary of leader Kim Jong-un's rise to power with photos of his meetings with world leaders.

The 49 sets of stamps, published by the North's Korea Stamp Corp., include those featuring Kim's Singapore summit in 2018 with then U.S. President Donald Trump and another meeting at the inter-Korean truce village of Panmunjom the following year, as well his talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But no stamps featuring Kim's summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in or a trilateral gathering with Trump at Panmunjom were in the collection.

Stamps that feature North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile under the guidance of the North's leader Kim Jong-un in 2017, part of a batch issued to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his ascension to the leader of the party and the country, are seen in this photo taken from the website of North Korea's State Stamp Bureau, April 1.

The North showed the launches of its missiles in the stamp collection, including the Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in 2017.

Images of the newest Hwasong-17 ICBM the North claims to have launched last week were not included.

Inter-Korean relations have chilled and the Korea peace process has stalled since the 2019 Hanoi summit between Kim and Trump ended without a deal. (Yonhap)
