Ahmadi held a meeting with Mahjong Oswald, deputy director of the Universal Postal Union. During the meeting, he introduced/presented the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) as one of the Iranian Postal Company’s most strategic projects, saying the services offered by this infrastructure have the capacity for postal companies to implement at a global level. Additionally, officials have expressed their willingness to benefit from the universal postal coalition partnership and consultation.
Oswald said the Universal Postal Coalition’s Technology Centre is ready to provide advisory services in the field of information technology, and is proposing that Iran will leverage the capabilities of the coalition’s advisory committee to further benefit from its scientific experience.
The executive directors of India’s Asia-Pacific Postal Union, Singh and Ahmadi discussed the development of Green Post, digital transformation and database services.

For his turn, Shin announced that the APPU is ready. We provided consultants to the government.
“We are pleased with Iran’s progress and appreciate the role the country has played in leading the coalition’s executive council in recent years,” he said, saying APPU is ready to support Iran in expanding its postal services by holding annual education courses and promoting Iran’s participation in these courses.
