Statement of the UPU Director General on World Post Day 2025.
This World Post Day, we celebrate the vital role of the postal sector as a lifeline, bringing essential services
to everyone, everywhere.
The postal network is among the largest and farthest-reaching service infrastructures in the world. With
more than 600,000 post offices, it provides communities everywhere with reliable access to communication,
commercial, financial and social services. From the most remote areas to the busiest cities, the postal
network is a bridge, connecting people to the wider world.
The recently adopted UPU Strategy aligns closely with this year’s theme, “#PostforPeople: Local Service.
Global Reach.” It envisions the UPU as a driving force in building an interconnected, inclusive and
sustainable society, supported by a seamless and innovative postal network that is capable of delivering
high-quality, modern services to people around the world.
Through this year’s theme, we also want to celebrate the women and men who make this extraordinary
universal service possible – the 4.6 million postal workers across 192 member countries, whose dedication
enables the postal network to continue to serve billions of people every day. We applaud all those workers
who innovate at headquarters, who process millions of parcels at sorting centres, and who deliver by foot,
bicycle or vehicle every single day.
On this World Post Day, I urge us all to work together in ensuring that the Post continues to offer quality
services to everyone, everywhere, connecting local communities to the world. Let us unite to make the
postal network more accessible, more reliable and more inclusive than ever.
Happy World Post Day.
