80 years ago, on August 15, 1945, the National Conference of the Indochinese Communist Party held in Tan Trao (Tuyen Quang) issued a Resolution, establishing the "Professional Transport Committee", the predecessor of the Postal sector.
During the patriotic resistance war, nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers who assignedposts and communications heroically fell down for independence, freedom and to keep the flow of information of the Fatherland uninterrupted.
After the merger, the Post Office industry entered the stage of restoration - construction - modernization. With the motto of going straight to modernity, ignoring intermediary technology, opening up integration, connecting internationally, self- repayment loans, postal and telecommunications infrastructure has become a pillar of infrastructure for innovation, laying the foundation for Vietnam to enter the era of the knowledge economy.
With a system of 13,000 service points extending to communes and wards and more than 40,000 employees, Vietnam Post Corporation has both performed its political tasks well and innovated and creatively to adapt to the strong transformation of the country, affirmed the position of a National Post Office enterprise, actively contributed to the administrative reform, national digital transformation and enhanced the position of Vietnam Post Office in the international arena.
In the first 6 months of 2025, the growth rate of Vietnam Post Office reached 22%. Vietnam Post is resolutely implementing a new organizational model, new economic mechanism, new service ecosystem on a deep and comprehensive digital transformation platform. These will be four important driving forces to bring Vietnam Post Office into a new period of strong development.
