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 through postal networks, such as postal financial
services, improving sustainability and energy transition initiatives, and enhancing cybersecurity and data protection across the sector.

H.E. 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.”

a seamless and enriching experience for all delegates, further reinforcing the UAE’s reputation as a preferred destination for key
