BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 13. The Universal Postal
Union (UPU) provides comprehensive support for digital
transformation in developing countries, UPU Development Cooperation
Director Mutua Muthusi told reporters on the sidelines of the 1st
Forum of Heads of Postal Services in Europe and the CIS in Baku,
Trend reports.
“Our main task is to help countries and postal administrations
whose services do not yet meet established standards to reach the
optimal level. This ultimately helps strengthen the international
postal network,” he explained.
According to him, the UPU provides support in a variety of forms
– from the supply of technical equipment to the development of
human resources.
“We organize high-level training events, such as this forum in
Baku. This allows us not only to improve the skills of specialists
but also to create a platform for knowledge sharing between postal
industry leaders,” he emphasized.
He expressed confidence that these forums really hit the nail on
the head when it comes to boosting the growth of sustainable and
cutting-edge postal systems across the globe.
“Our goal is to bring together leaders of postal administrations
so that they can openly share information, identify existing
problems in their work, and form targeted support to eliminate
them,” the UPU representative added.
Founded in 1874, the Universal Postal Union (UPU), headquartered
in Bern, Switzerland, is the second oldest international
organization globally. The UPU, with 192 member nations, serves as
the principal platform for collaboration among stakeholders in the
postal industry. It facilitates the establishment of a genuinely
universal network of current products and services. The group
performs consultative, mediation, and liaison functions, offering
technical support as required. It establishes regulations for
international postal exchanges and provides recommendations to
enhance the growth of mail, parcel, and financial service volumes
while improving customer service quality.
