This year, the Universal Postal Union has chosen to mark World Post Day with a virtual event on 8 October.

 

UPU Director General Bishar A. Hussein invites you to attend the UPU's World Post Day ceremony.

Join us 8 October at 10 a.m. (CEST) This year, the Universal Postal Union has chosen to mark World Post Day with a virtual event on 8 October.   The theme for the day is “Innovate to recover,” which honours the spirit of adaptation and creativity shown by Posts throughout the pandemic. A special interactive session organized under the same theme will give ministers responsible for the Post and postal CEOs an opportunity to share stories about the initiatives they have put into place to better serve their citizens during this difficult period.   We will also use the occasion to celebrate the performance of the top-ranking countries in the UPU’s Integrated Index for Postal Development, the 50th anniversary of the UPU’s International Letter-Writing Competition, and the courage shown by Poste Italiane employees in intercepting a letter containing bullets addressed to Pope Francis.   Please join us to celebrate World Post Day on 8 October from 10 a.m. (CEST) on tv.upu.int.   Sincerely, Your UPU Communications & Events Programme
