9/4/25, 10:33 AM UAE welcomes 28th Universal Postal Congress
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 institutions and
broader ecosystem partners. Other anticipated results include enhancing development and financial inclusion through postal
networks, such as postal financial services, improving sustainability and energy transition initiatives, and enhancing
cybersecurity and data protection across the sector.

Badr Al-Olama, Honorary Chair of Congress and Chairman of the Board of Directors, 7X, said, "The Congress serves as the
primary platform for channelling international efforts towards a more inclusive, secure and efficient postal and logistics
system. The projected results, especially the UPU Postal roadmap, or 'Dubai Strategy', will boost digital integration and
enhance service experience for individuals and businesses by embracing unified standards. Together with the Union's
International Bureau, UPU member countries, and our partners in both the public and private sectors, we will drive these
policies forward through capacity-building initiatives and innovation-led collaborations in supply chains and services."

The 28th Universal Postal Congress is being hosted by the Government of the United Arab Emirates in collaboration with the
key federal and local authorities as well as regulatory and service partners. This ensures an integrated regulatory ecosystem
that provides a seamless and enriching experience for all delegates, further reinforcing the UAE's reputation as a preferred
destination for key global events and solidifying its position as a leading global hub for postal and logistics services.
