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.

UPU Director General.

On World Post Day, we celebrate the critical contributions of postal workers in connecting people around the world with essential services that improve their daily lives and boost the development of their communities.

With a global network and universal service mandate to ensure access for all, the postal sector is a key partner in our effort to deliver the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The theme of this year’s World Post Day – “Post for Planet” – recognizes the many ways in which postal services are finding cleaner, greener means to reach our doorsteps day in, day out.

“Post for Planet” is also a call to action for the postal sector to use its position as a connector between governments, businesses, and people to take a leading role in our fight against climate change.

Working with partners from across the logistics, financial and digital spheres, postal services have the power to catalyze positive actions across a wide range of other sectors.

I thank the Universal Postal Union for leading this call to action and look forward to working together towards a more prosperous and sustainable future for all.

U.N. Secretary-General.

World Post Day 2013, October 9

 World Post Day is celebrated on 9 October and marks the founding of the Universal Postal Union in 1874.

Every year, more than 150 countries mark the day in a variety of ways.
Many Posts use the event to introduce or promote new postal products and services. Open days are held as are flag-raising ceremonies. Some Posts also use World Post Day to reward their employees for good service.

For countries participating in the UPU International Letter-writing Competition for children, national winners are often honoured on 9 October.


In a video message delivered ahead of World Post Day, celebrated annually on 9 October, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlights the role of postal services as “engines of trade, development and growth.



The head of the United Nations Organization calls on national governments to use the “tremendous potential” of their postal networks to reach out to their citizens and bridge the gaps in today’s information society. Recalling the enduring value of the daily post in an increasingly digital age, Ban says postal services go beyond physical mail and are adapting and redefining themselves for a 21st-century communication landscape. Indeed, Posts help bring people into the financial fold, says Ban, referring to the financial services being increasingly offered by them. Posts also foster commercial trade, especially with the increasing popularity of e-commerce and online shopping, he says. “Postal services make an important contribution to our shared efforts to build a peaceful, sustainable and equitable future for all,” concludes the secretary-general.

Featuring two well-known symbols of the #Post and #communication, the new poster shows the traditional letter transforming itself into a carrier pigeon taking flight. The bird's digitized lines and shape convey the message that the Post and postal communication are evolving and modernizing, increasingly using electronic features. Through this combination of traditional symbols and modern lines, the poster evokes the fundamental values of the postal service
