On World Post Day, we celebrate the 4.6 million postal workers who connect countries and communities around the globe.
This year’s theme – “Post for People: Local service. Global reach” – honours the people behind the service, and reminds us that when individuals work together, their impact can become truly global.With the coordination of the Universal Postal Union, postal workers form a network that delivers more than mail. It delivers essential services, opportunity, and trust, reaching remote areas, connecting villages and cities, bridging the rural-urban divide, and creating a world that is within everyone’s reach.
Post is a service by people, for people. Today and every day, we thank postal workers and recommit to supporting a strong, sustainable postal service for communities and for our world.
