UPU plays an advisory, mediating, and liaison role in international mail exchanges, establishes the rules, and offers suggestions to stimulate the growth of the mail, parcel, and financial services industries. 192 nations currently make up its membership.

Malaysia became a member of the UPU in 1958, and currently takes an active role in both the UPU Council of Administration and the UPU Postal Operations Council.

Asian-Pacific Postal Union (APPU)

 

The Asian-Pacific Postal Union (APPU) is the UPU's regional postal union. It is an intergovernmental organisation made up of 32 nations and provides members with a forum in which to discuss issues of strategic relevance to postal services in the Asia Pacific area as well as to exchange ideas and experiences. Pos Malaysia has been an active member of the APPU and hosted the 2016 meeting of the APPU Executive Council in Langkawi.
