Asian Pacific Postal Union's Ex-Co Meeting begins on Sept.15

September 14, 2014

The Asian Pacific Postal Union (APPU) Executive Council Meeting (ECM), which is one of the most significant events of the Sri Lankan postal sector will be held from September 15 to 19 at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel in Colombo with President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony.

Sri Lanka has been benefiting from APPU since 1970. Hundreds of Postal Department employees received opportunities to undergo training in the Asian Pacific Postal College (APPC). By assuming the Chairmanship of APPU in 2014, Sri Lanka can derive more benefits for the development of postal sector.

Approximately 150 foreign representatives and a group of representatives including the Director General of the Universal Postal Union will participate in the ECM.
