9/22/25, 1:20 PM UAE Leads Dubai Strategy, Assumes Chairmanship Of UPU Council Of Administration - UrduPoint
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.

Furthermore, the UAE has won membership in the UPU’s Postal Operations

Council (POC) for the 2026–2029 cycle after achieving 144 votes from member
countries, marking another significant achievement that underscores its leading

status on the international stage.

The UAE was elected as one of 48 member states of the POC,

selected from among the Union’s 192 member countries. The POC is the UPU’s

specialised technical body, responsible for supervising the development of key
operational policies and postal services, unifying standards, improving quality and

enhancing coordination among global postal networks to build a more efficient

and sustainable international postal system.

Badr Al-Olama, Chairman of 7X, said, “The UAE’s election to the UPU Postal

Operations Council represents a clear affirmation of our nation’s leadership in
shaping the future of postal and logistics services worldwide. Hosting the 28th

Universal Postal Congress in Dubai and spearheading the implementation of the

2026–2029 Strategy with the chairmanship of the Council of Administration,
