World
Post Day is celebrated each year
on 9 October, the anniversary of the establishment of the Universal Postal
Union in 1874 in the Swiss Capital, Bern. It was declared World Post Day by the
UPU Congress held in Tokyo, Japan in 1969. Since then, countries across the world
participate annually in the celebrations. The Posts in many countries use the
event to introduce or promote new postal products and services.
In
2015 countries all over the world committed themselves to working together
towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to end extreme
poverty and hunger, fight inequality and injustice, and take action to reverse
climate change--to name just some of these 17 agreed new Goals. Playing its
part in this global effort, the Post today has a more relevant role than ever
by providing infrastructure for development.
