Vietnam desires UPU’s technical support in postal development
VOV.VN - Vietnam seeks experience and technical support from the Universal Postal Union (UPU) to modernise and improve the overall competitiveness of its postal sector, which represents a crucial and essential infrastructure of the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang made the statement at a meeting with Masahiko Metoki, director general of the UPU, on November 24 in Hanoi.
Hailing the UPU's innovation efforts to adapt to the digital age requirements, Deputy PM Quang expressed his belief that the union will overcome difficulties and challenges, working together with member countries to stimulate growth in the sector.
For his part, Metoki lauded the Vietnamese Government’s postal development orientations and the country’s role in its first-time membership of the UPU Postal Operations Council (POC).
The UPU will continue sharing experience and expertise as well as offer technical support for the nation, he affirmed.
Established in 1874, the UPU is headquartered in Berne and is the second oldest international organisation worldwide. With 192 member countries, it is the primary forum for co-operation between postal sector players, helping to ensure a truly universal network of up-to-date products and services.
