UAE welcomes 28th Universal Postal Congress

DUBAI, 3rd September, 2025 (WAM) -- 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.

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."
