My Fellow Citizens and Residents – Greetings

Today is World Post Day and it is with great pleasure that I bring this auspicious occasion to your attention.

The event was originally created by the Universal Postal Congress held in Tokyo, Japan in 1969. It is celebrated each year on the 9th of October, the anniversary date of the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in the Swiss Capital, Bern in 1874. For that reason St. Kitts and Nevis joins with the Universal Postal Union to commemorate World Post Day.
