Hongkong Post continues to give full support to the initiatives and activities organised by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the Asian-Pacific Postal Union (APPU). We attended regular meetings of the UPU, including meetings of the Postal Operations Council and the Council of Administration on 9 to 19 April and 28 October to 1 November 2013 as a member of the China delegation. We also participated in the meetings of the Asia Pacific Post Cooperative Management Board held in July 2013 and February 2014 and the 11th APPU Congress in September 2013. In addition, we supported a pilot alarm resolution study undertaken by the UPU Postal Security Group as part of its Mail Security Review and received a team of specialist visitors to our Air Mail Centre in February 2014. Involvement in these multilateral fora helps us to keep abreast of the latest developments in the global postal network, foster cooperation with other postal administrations and advance Hongkong Post’s interests.
In addition, Hongkong Post participates in the Kahala Posts Group, an alliance of 10 major postal administrations worldwide, to maintain high performance standards for our Speedpost and Air Parcel services. During the year, the Kahala Posts Group deliberated a broad range of service-related issues, including preparation to meet the new e-customs requirement set by the European Union.
