Countdown to Doha: 25th Universal Postal Congress
The countdown to the 25th UPU Congress in Doha (Qatar) has begun. This important event will be held from 24 September to 15 October 2012 at the brand new, state-of-the-art Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC). Some 2,000 participants are expected to attend.
World postal strategy
Every four years, the UPU Congress brings together plenipotentiaries from the organization’s 192 member countries to define the future world postal strategy, the Union’s four-year roadmap, and lay down standards and regulations which facilitate and increase the security of international exchanges of mail and parcels, as well as the delivery of a broad range of secure and affordable electronic and financial services.
The Congress will also provide a forum for the discussion of important global issues such as sustainable development, trade facilitation, financial inclusion, money transfers, and addressing as important factors for the social and economic development of countries.
Ministerial conference
The plenary sessions will begin on 8 October with a ministerial conference, where heads of government, ministers responsible for postal services, heads of United Nations and other international organizations, and postal sector stakeholders will debate the future of the world's postal services.
