Today, the UPU has evolved into a postal network of 192 member countries that fosters cooperation and communication among postal administrations worldwide and provides latest updates to ensure a universal network of postal products and services. It also fulfils a number of other functions, such as advisory, mediation and liaison. 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the UPU.
