 Greetings from Bern, Switzerland. Greetings to Dr. Kim, to Korea Post. Once again, Korea Post is leading by example. The Universal Postal Union salutes the efforts of Korea Post to breath life into the art of letter writing. As the United Nations Specialized Agency for Postal Services, the UPU has seen the communication landscape change drastically since its global network was created 140 years ago. There has been an explosion in the use of electronic communication, but we all know that an email or SMS struggles to convey emotion in the same way as a letter. A letter from one human being to another still touches the heart. In this digital world, as communications become more virtual, we are risk losing the human dimension. We may hear that the letter is dead, but it's really true. The UPU own figures show that more than 350 billion letters are sent every year throughout the world. Letter Post as a product still accounts for 30% of global postal revenue. We hear that young people are not interested in writing letters anymore. Then, why did 1.5 million children take part in the UPU's annual letter writing competition this year? And by the way, most of the participants come from Asia Pacific. Billions of people around the world use the UPU's global network of post offices in 192 countries, enabling them to communicate across borders. We can go as far to say the UPU's network is a truly social network. In fact, this global network was the original social network long before the digital era existed. And today, it is very essence as a social network to enable people to communicate is more important than ever, especially with citizens growing concerns about electronic communications. The Seoul Korea Writing Letter Festival is a great initiative from a digital savvy member country of the UPU. And we wish, on behalf of all the members of the UPU, Korea Post every success. Vive la lettre!
