 Mongolia and Kazakhstan are
to receive assistance in modernizing their postal systems from the South
Korean Post Offices.
Meeting in Ulaanbaatur on Monday,
the heads of the three countries’ postal systems inaugurated the establishment
of a cooperation committee between their countries.
South Korea will assist Mongolia
by introducing advanced mail-handling systems tied into an advanced
logistics system.
South Korea hopes to sell its
postal know-how and computer software to developing countries as they
seek to bring their postal services up to the standards of other Eastern
countries. In addition, while email has reduced the number of letters
sent by post, postal services worldwide are seeing a marked increase
in parcel post deliveries.
``The establishment of the
three-nation partnership committee will be a stepping stone for Korean
IT firms to advance into the Central Asia and Caspian nations,'' Jung
Kyung-won, president of Korea Post said. ``By initiating an annual meeting
with Japan and China in 2000 and by forging the Central Asian partnership
deal this time, South Korea is emerging as Asia's hub nation in the
postal services.''
