9/4/25, 10:30 AM Home | Emirates News Agency
(UPU), with over 2000 participants along with others
expected to attend virtually.
Hosting the Congress reflects the UAE’s commitment to
shaping the future of the postal and logistics sector while
reinforcing international collaboration across trade and
service networks.
Held every four years, the Congress is the supreme
decision-making authority of the UPU, a specialised
United Nations agency dedicated to the postal sector. The
event brings together ministers, heads of national postal
institutions and senior experts from both the public and
private sectors. The Congress comes at a pivotal time for

the global postal system, which is witnessing a rapid
transformation driven by the growth of eCommerce,
digitalisation and surging demands for quality, reliability
and cybersecurity.
The event underlines the UAE’s role as a thriving hub for
innovation, logistics and connectivity, and as a preferred
location for major international gatherings that promote
dialogue and design forward-looking policies.
Delegations will deliberate on and adopt the UPU’s new
strategy for 2026-2029, which will be titled the ‘Dubai
Strategy’ in recognition of the host country. In addition, the
Congress will elect the UPU Director General and Deputy
Director General of its next cycle, along with member
states for the Council of Administration and the Postal
Operations Council, which will oversee the implementation
of the strategy and operational policies.
Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Supreme

Supervision & Preparation Committee for the 28th
Universal Postal Congress, said, “By hosting this global
event, the UAE demonstrates its substantial role in
developing an integrated international ecosystem that
reinforces international communication and creates
platforms for meaningful dialogue aimed at crafting future-
focused policy. Since joining the UPU in 1973, and in
alignment with the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision, our country
continues to play an active role in advancing the global
postal network by leveraging innovation, data governance
and financial inclusion.”
The Congress is projected to deliver a comprehensive
range of outcomes, including updates to postal products
and remuneration mechanisms, improved service quality
standards and robust collaboration between postal
