FROM SECRETARY-GENERAL’S DESK

March  2026 

Greetings from the Asian-Pacific Postal Union! 

Our region is rarely short of significant postal developments, and this month I am particularly pleased to share one that merits special mention. Brunei Darussalam, one of our esteemed APPU member countries, has taken a bold and forward-looking step by
corporatizing its national postal services. Effective 1 January 2026, postal operations in Brunei have been transferred to PosBru — a
wholly owned subsidiary of Darussalam Assets, duly licensed by AITI. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and warmest wishes
to PosBru as they embark on this new chapter. We are confident that this transition will bring with it enhanced service efficiency
and an enriched experience for customers. More
