Description
This stamp commemorates the inauguration of the new Universal Postal Union (UPU) headquarters building in Bern, Switzerland, in 1970. As a specialized agency of the United Nations, the UPU coordinates global postal policies and guarantees a universal communications network between member countries. This broadcast highlights Tunisia's commitment to international cooperation and its active role in global systems that facilitate the exchange of mail and packages across the world.
The central illustration presents a modern architectural perspective of the building, symbolizing the progress and modernization of international communications infrastructure in the 20th century. The emblem in the lower left corner, showing human silhouettes surrounding a globe, represents the universality of postal services and the organization's mission to connect people across borders. By devoting this value of 25 millimes to this event, the Republic values ​​the fluidity of the exchange of information as a pillar of peace and global development.
