"Digitalization facilitates partnerships. Even the largest companies and posts cannot do it by themselves. The new UPU Consultative Committee structure is about direct communication and dialogue but also about interconnectivity and integration of private partners and their solutions into the existing global IT backbone of the UPU. It is about shaping the digital future of the sector together."
