 Greetings to the global postal workers community. It is with great pleasure that I address you on the occasion of UPU-2IPD, Postal Excellence Award 2022, especially which named Egypt as a rising star in postal development. The importance of post office in socio-economic development is proved during the course of time. Over its 148 years, the UPU has ensured that this network develops with the need of society. And today, the postal organization contribution to the digital economy and the sustainable development is well seen by governments of member states and our citizens. The integrated index for postal development is a very important tool which keeps all of us well informed about the status of the postal network and its efficiency and how to work together to improve it and to keep it sustained, to serve our society with reliable, relevant service through resilient and accessible network. So that our citizens are fully empowered by our service and guarantee the right to live a decent life. Congratulations for regional champions and rising star for postal development. And many thanks to the International BO for their support and hard work to present this important tool every year for the benefit of the global postal network.
