Post Fiji will continue to provide services to communities and sustain its market.

Chief Executive, Doctor Anirudha Bansod, says profit maximization is the least important aspect of their daily operations.

He highlighted this while commemorating World Post Day in Suva today, and to commemorate this occasion, the Universal Postal Union issued a $20 stamp-themed “Post for Planet.”

Doctor Bansod says they are proud to have survived through the pandemic by successfully managing their operation.

“During the COVID period, our people really worked hard, and we consider them as one the frontier warriors a lot of people have not acknowledged our Postal staff during the tuff time but we constantly worked and delivered services to the community during the tuff time. To the extent when the lockdown was there and the staff was fearful, and they had the courage to create the services to the community.”

Postal service, according to Infrastructure Minister Jone Usamate, plays an important role, particularly in terms of economic development.

“And from the early years, the business has grew, I think Post Fiji has become a first national network. It was the first national network combining all countries together through many decades across the thousands of kilometers of our islands and has bought the connectivity to our nations.”

Post Fiji currently has 58 outlets around the country.
