Palestinian Authority to exchange mail directly with UPU member countries Israeli and Palestinian Posts agree on a joint declaration

The Universal Postal Union announced that the Israeli and Palestinian postal authorities had been discussing solutions aimed at improving the operations and quality of the Palestinian Authority’s postal services, “with the aim of strengthening international postal cooperation”. In a joint declaration read out by UPU Director General Edouard Dayan to the member countries attending the 24th Universal Postal Congress in Geneva, both parties pledged to start facilitating direct exchanges between the Palestinian Authority and the UPU member countries as of now. Mail will transit via Amman, Jordan.

Dayan described this declaration as an “important development” in the UPU International Bureau’s efforts to help the Palestinian postal service become “better integrated into the world postal community”. He added that the announcement would help to prepare the ground for work to develop and improve the quality of the Palestinian postal service, and welcomed the “spirit of dialogue and total cooperation” shown by both parties. “The technical and operational solutions that are envisaged will enable the Palestinian postal services to launch direct mail exchanges, and will establish the rights and duties associated with terminal dues and the UPU Quality of Service Fund.” Terminal dues are the compensation countries receive for handling international mail arriving from other countries. The declaration also stated that the two parties had agreed to work on a bilateral basis, and within the framework of the relevant agreements reached between them, to ensure the “rapid, concrete implementation” of these direct exchanges. Dayan also called on the international postal community to lend its support to the Palestinian Authority’s postal services.
