Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister
of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the 28th Universal Postal Congress will be held in Dubai from September 8 to 19,
2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event will convene high-level delegations from 192 member states in the
Universal Postal Union (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.

H.E. 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 institutions
and broader ecosystem partners. Other anticipated results include enhancing development and financial inclusion
