World Post Day is observed annually which was removed and declared by the Universal Postal Union UPU Congress held in Tokyo, Japan in 1969. The Posts in many countries use the event to introduce or promote new postal products and services.
The purpose of World Post Day is to create awareness of the role of the postal sector in people’s and businesses’ everyday lives and its contribution to the social and economic development of countries.
The celebration encourages member countries to undertake programme activities aimed at generating a broader awareness of their Post’s role and activities among the public and media on a national scale.
