Why World Post Day is celebrated every October 9
The chosen date has to do with the creation of the Universal Postal Union because, although it began on September 15, 1874, it was completed on October 9 of that same year. In any case, it was not until 1969, in which the organization established this date as World Post Day.
It was at a conference held in Tokyo, Japan. The objective was to pay tribute to the date on which the organization was created and also to highlight the work of millions of workers around the world who make it possible for letters and packages to reach even the most remote places in the world.
