150th Anniversary of UPU

In 2024, the Universal Postal Union marks its 150th anniversary. In October 9, 1874, representatives from 22 countries convened to sign the Treaty of Bern, establishing the General Postal Union, which would later be known as the Universal Postal Union (UPU). A century and a half later, the UPU connects the postal networks of 192 member countries, fulfilling its founders’ vision of creating a unified postal territory to serve people worldwide.

The theme for the UPU’s 150th year – “150 years of enabling communication and empowering peoples across nations” – celebrates this achievement and underscores its ongoing commitment to serving people across the globe for generations to come. To celebrate its 150th Anniversary, UPU distributed common design for stamp, FDC and maxicards.  

Myanmar Post also issued a stamp, using the common design, on 9 Oct 2024.
