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.
