Korea Post, South Korea’s postal service operator under the Ministry of Science and ICT, said Sunday that it signed a memorandum of understanding with its counterparts in China and Japan last week, agreeing to strengthen cooperation in postal service technology innovation and adoption.

Under the memorandum signed during a high-level meeting in Tokyo held from Nov. 8-9, the postal service operators of the three countries will work together to speed up delivery systems, in competition with global e-commerce companies.
