9/9/25, 3:00 PM Ahmed bin Mohammed attends launch of 28th Universal Postal Congress - Dubai 2025
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.

H.H. 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.

During the visit, Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed signed the first edition of

the official stamp released to mark the UAE's hosting of the Congress. This

issuance reflects the UAE's prominent role as a global hub for postal and

logistics services, while reaffirming its commitment to driving digital

transformation by embracing cutting-edge technologies and enabling e-

commerce solutions and smart services.

The opening session was led by 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 UPU member countries. During the

session, participants elected Tariq Ahmed Al Wahedi, Group CEO of 7X, as

Chair of the 28th Congress, entrusting him with guiding the event's

proceedings and overseeing sessions and deliberations in accordance with

the Union's constitution and procedural rules.
