Heads from six postal services gather
Senior executives from six postal administrations in the Asia-Pacific region will today wrap up their three-day meeting held at Seoul’s Shilla Hotel, the meeting’s organizer Korea Post said yesterday.
Participants of the fourth annual Kahala Posts Group CEO/BOD Joint Meetings discussed the current status and future prospects of “express mail services,” or EMS, and the implementation of the Kahala Initiative, the state-run postal service said.
Participants include Tam Wing-pong, postmaster general of Hong Kong Post; Toshihiro Takahashi, senior executive vice president for Japan Post; Hwang Joong-yon, inspector general of Korea Post; Ma Jun Sheng, vice director-general of the Chinese State Postal Bureau; Graeme John, managing director of Australia Post; and Paul Vogel, vice president for network operations management in the U.S. Postal Service. Adam Crozier of the U.K.’s Royal Mail, which will soon likely join the Kahala membership, also attended the meeting.
The Kahala Initiative refers to an integrated postal service network among six member countries including Korea, the United States, Japan, China, Australia and Hong Kong, to enhance the quality and competitiveness of EMS.
