The ministry introduced the POSIVA system for giving aid to foreign countries in January 1991.[3]
In January 2001, the ministry was merged with other ministries to form the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The Postal Services Agency, under the new ministry, continued the POSIVA program.[3]
