World Post Day

World Post Day is celebrated every year on October 9th. It is an annual event that aims to raise awareness of the important role that postal services play in our daily lives and the importance of the postal sector in promoting social and economic development.

The day was first declared by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) Congress in 1969 as a way to mark the anniversary of the establishment of the UPU in 1874 in Bern, Switzerland. Since then, World Post Day has been observed by postal services and organizations around the world.

The theme of World Post Day changes every year and is chosen by the UPU. The theme for 2021 was “More than mail,” which highlighted the many services that postal services provide beyond just delivering letters and packages.

Many postal services around the world use World Post Day as an opportunity to promote their services and engage with their customers. Some postal services may offer special promotions or discounts, while others may hold events or launch new initiatives.

Overall, World Post Day serves as a reminder of the importance of the postal sector and the many ways in which postal services support our daily lives and connect people and communities around the world.
