In 1863, US Post General Montgomery Blair organized a conference in Paris. Delegates from 15 European and American countries joined forces and engaged in dialogue to define many general principles of mutual understanding. The disadvantage of this meeting was that nothing was planned for an international postal agreement.

In Bern (1874), Heinrich von Stephan, senior postmaster of the Confederation of Northern Germany, drafted an international postal union. On his proposal, the Swiss Government organized an international conference in Berne on September 15, 1874, attended by 22 nations and their representatives.

On October 9 of the same year, World Post Day was started with the creation of the General Postal Union. In 1878, his name was changed to Universal Postal Union.

The Treaty of Berne, signed in 1874, made it possible to unify the international postal services and the provisions relating to the transaction and exchange of letters in the same postal territory.
