World Post day being observed today

Kathmandu, Oct 9: The World Post Day 2025 is being observed around the world, including Nepal today.

The Day is observed in commemoration of the anniversary of the Universal Postal Union, which was established in 1874 in Bern, Switzerland.

Meanwhile, the UPU has invited all member countries to take part in the global social media campaign on the theme: "Post for People: Local Service. Global Reach." It had also called for contributions of photos or short videos that bring this theme to life.

In a statement on the occasion, Director General of the UPU, a UN specialized agency responsible for international postal cooperation and development, Masahiko Metoki, has urged 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."

The day is also being observed in Nepal by organising a variety of events. (RSS)
