innovative and sustainable postal network that contributes to enabling trade, promoting digital integration and enhancing the quality
of life of communities.”

Al Wahedi added: “By chairing the Council of Administration and overseeing the plan implementation, we seek to achieve strategic
outcomes such as improved, market-relevant, multilateral systems that guarantee the provision of quality, accessible, affordable,
viable postal services. We will make conscious efforts to strengthen customer-focused postal products, encourage innovation in
products and services, and fortify cross-border postal supply chains. By expanding partnerships, strengthening regional integration
and modernising the postal

infrastructure through collaboration and technical assistance, we will also work to solidify the sector’s role in advancing national
economic and social objectives and actively contributing towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals.”

The 2026–2029 Strategy includes KPIs, such as increasing the percentage of member countries with comprehensive postal
regulatory frameworks aligned with UPU standards and guidelines; boosting the annual growth rate of postal access points to
ensure seamless access for all; raising annual nominal growth in operating revenue (SDR); increasing the percentage of
international postal items delivered end-to-end in accordance with applicable UPU quality of service standards; and raising the
proportion of member countries that integrate the postal sector into their national development plans.

As a result of the significant international momentum that accompanied the adoption of this strategy, the Congress witnessed the
signing of multiple memoranda of understanding between member countries, alongside bilateral and multilateral meetings, and the
introduction of qualitative policy documents on governance, innovation and sustainability. By strengthening its global footprint and
emulating the Congress’ theme, ‘Leading the Change, Creating the Future,’ the UAE further solidifies its position as an active
partner in driving the future of the global postal industry, and a major contributor to achieving the Union’s vision in the coming years.
