Launch Of 28th Universal Postal Congress - Dubai 2025

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President
and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai, attended the launch of the 28th Universal
Postal Congress, held under the theme ‘Leading Change, Creating the Future’. Running until 19
September, 2025, the Congress brings together high-level delegations from the 192 member
countries of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). The event is co-organised by the UPU and 7X, the
UAE’s official representative to the Union.

HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed toured the UAE Pavilion at the event, which features a postal
museum showcasing the country’s evolution from handwritten correspondence and traditional
stamps to today’s advanced digital postal system. The Pavilion also highlights cutting-edge
innovations from technology companies, logistics providers, and e-commerce players, alongside a
dedicated space for stamp collectors. Over the course of the Congress, it will serve as a hub for
signing agreements between public and private entities at both local and international levels and will
host a series of events organised by participating delegations on the sidelines of the Congress.

commitment to driving digital transformation by embracing cutting-edge technologies and enabling
e-commerce solutions and smart services.

The opening session was led by His Excellency Badr Al-Olama, Honorary Chair of the Congress and
Chairman of 7X, in the presence of ministers, ambassadors, and senior officials from the UAE and
