Dubai For Global Postal Innovation
By OneArabia
Published: Wednesday, September 3, 2025, 15:28 [GST] The 28th Universal Postal Congress is set to take place in Dubai from
September 8 to 19, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This significant event will gather high-level delegations from 192 member states of the
Universal Postal Union (UPU), with over 2000 participants expected, including virtual attendees. Hosting this Congress highlights the UAE's
dedication to advancing the postal and logistics sector while fostering international cooperation across trade and service networks.
Held every four years, the Congress serves as the supreme decision-making body of the UPU, a specialised United Nations agency focused on
postal matters. The event attracts ministers, heads of national postal institutions, and senior experts from both public and private sectors. This year's
Congress comes at a crucial time for the global postal system, which is undergoing rapid changes due to eCommerce growth, digitalisation, and
increasing demands for quality, reliability, and cybersecurity.
The Congress will focus on adopting the UPU’s new strategy for 2026-2029, named the ‘Dubai Strategy’ in honour of the host nation. Delegates will
also elect the UPU Director General and Deputy Director General for the next cycle. Additionally, member states for the Council of Administration and
Postal Operations Council will be chosen to oversee strategy implementation and operational policies.
