UAE Welcomes the 28th Universal Postal Congress

By PR News Desk 03/09/2025

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.
