World
Post Day is celebrated each year on 9 October. The event was declared by the
1969 Universal Postal Congress in Tokyo as a means to mark the anniversary of
the Universal Postal Union's (UPU) creation in 1874.
The
purpose of World Post Day is to bring awareness to the Post's role in the
everyday lives of people and businesses, as well as its contribution to global
social and economic development.
As
a result, the UPU's member countries are encouraged to organize their own
national activities to celebrate the event, including everything from the
introduction or promotion of new postal products and services, to the
organization of open days at post offices, mail centres and postal museums.
INTERNATIONAL
LETTER-WRITING COMPETITION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE:
For
countries participating in the UPU International Letter-Writing Competition,
national winners are often honoured on 9 October. The theme selected for the
2016 competition is: "Write a letter to your 45-year-old self." This
topic was chosen to mark the 45th edition of the international contest.
Children around the world are warmly encouraged to give flight to their
imagination, while writing a letter to themselves in the future.
