Thursday, Oct. 9 is World Post Day, an annual commemoration of the role of mail in global social and economic development as well as people’s everyday lives.
This year’s theme is “One postal network, infinite possibilities.”
The global postal network “is one of the world’s enduring examples of global cooperation. One trusted network connecting people, communities and nations through a shared commitment to universal service, trust and reliability,” said Masahiko Metoki, director general of the Universal Postal Union, or UPU — the United Nations agency that sponsors World Post Day.
USPS International Affairs and Bilateral Agreements manages the Postal Service’s global relations and policy development with the UPU.
More information on World Post Day can be found on the UPU’s website.
