How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or news contexts to describe the restoration or establishment of official postal links between two political entities. It carries a sense of diplomatic progress or the easing of tensions between regions. You will rarely hear it used in casual conversation about sending a regular letter to a friend.
Examples
Are these two places currently able to exchange mail?
They have finally resumed postal services.
Related words
Common phrases
resume postal services
officially establish postal links
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with sending a parcel or letter personally, as it refers to the systemic ability for mail to travel between borders rather than an individual act of mailing something.
