Macau Post and Telecommunications (Portuguese: Correios e Telecomunicações de Macau; Chinese: 澳門郵電局) is an entity under the Government of Macao responsible for postal services and telecommunications regulation.
The acronym CTT comes from the former name of Portuguese postal administration (Portuguese: Correios, Telégrafos e Telefones, meaning "Post, Telegraph and Telephone") during the colonial period of Macao.
Postal history
The Macao Post was founded on 1, March 1884, as a separate entity from China Post and a sub-member of the Universal Postal Union.[1] Prior to the transfer of the exercise of sovereignty from Portugal to China in 1999, Macau postage stamps bore the Portuguese words REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA (i.e., the 'Portuguese Republic'), but now bear the Portuguese words MACAU, CHINA.
Organization
The Postal service is headed by a Director with two sub-directors.
