    It borders Nigeria and Benin to the south, Burkina Faso and Mali to the west, Algeria and Libya to the north and Chad to the east Niger covers a land area of almost 1,270,000 km2, making it the largest nation in West Africa, with over 80 percent of its land area covered by the Sahara desert.
    Bilateral relations between India and Niger are cordial and it has its embassy in New Delhi since 2011.
    The growing popularity of Indian art and culture internationally has initiated the government of Niger to issue this very special stamp during current festive season in India on Lord Ganesha on a Miniature Sheet, made in shape of Ganesha itself with one value stamp of 3300 CFA Francs with partially pure gold foiling in Hexagonal shape.
