global postal system.
During the closing session, Tariq Al Wahedi, 28th Congress Chair and GCEO of 7X, stated:“The 'Dubai Business Plan'
represents a significant transition in the way the global postal sector operates, enabling member countries to curate
services in line with their national priorities while ensuring combined efforts at a global level. In the upcoming phase, we
seek to create a more efficient, 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.
