UAE to oversee the implementation of the new strategy through the “Dubai Business Plan”

UAE elected to membership of the UPU Postal Operations Council after receiving 144 member country votes
The sidelines of the Congress saw the signing of MoUs between member countries, bilateral and multilateral
meetings, and policy papers on governance, innovation, and sustainability

The 28th Universal Postal Congress – Dubai 2025, hosted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the past two weeks,
concluded today with member countries unanimously adopting the Universal Postal Union’s (UPU) 2026–2029 Strategy,
also known as the ‘Dubai Strategy’, serving as a global roadmap for the future of the postal industry and reaffirming its
critical role in promoting trade and communication in light of the rapid transformation shaping the global logistics and
eCommerce sectors.

The ‘Dubai Strategy’ reflects UPU member nations’ shared vision of an integrated, inclusive and sustainable global
society empowered by a seamless, smart and innovative postal system that promotes social and economic development
and supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The strategy is the result of the most
comprehensive consultation process in UPU history, which involved over 2,200 participants from all 192 member
countries as well as other public and private sector organisations. The collaborative process reflects broad consensus
around the strategy and strengthens its inclusivity.

The UAE has also been appointed to supervise the implementation of the new strategy through the ‘Dubai Business
Plan’ in its capacity as Chair of the UPU Council of Administration (CA) over the next four years. The Council,
comprising 41 member states elected during the Congress, oversees the Union’s activities and addresses
organisational, administrative, and legal matters, ensuring effective governance for the future of the global postal
sector.
