World Post Day commemorates the establishment of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1874, which marked the beginning of a global communications revolution. The UPU facilitated the cooperation and regulation among the postal services of its member states, allowing mail to flow freely across borders and continents. The UPU also contributed to developing international postal standards, conventions, and treaties, as well as promoting postal innovation and modernization.
World Post Day celebrates the role of the postal sector in people’s and businesses’ everyday lives, as well as its contribution to the social and cultural development of countries. The postal sector enables people to communicate with each other, express their feelings, share their ideas, and exchange information. The postal sector also supports preserving and disseminating cultural heritage, such as literature, art, music, and folklore. The postal sector also fosters literacy and education among children and adults through various initiatives, such as the UPU’s International Letter Writing Competition.
