QATAR HOSTING NEXT 25TH UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION CONGRESS 2012

24th Universal Postal Congress – 23 July to 12 August 2008

The 24th Universal Postal Congress will be held from 23 July
12 August 2008 in Geneva (Switzerland).

More than 1,500 delegates from the UPU's 191 member countries will
gather to discuss the major issues affecting the global postal sector today.

The Universal Postal Congress is the supreme authority of the Union and brings together plenipotentiaries of all member countries.

Although Congress' main function is legislative, the recent tendency has been to focus more on strategic and broad policy issues and the 2008 Congress will adopt a World Postal Strategy that will serve as a roadmap for member countries and UPU bodies until the next Congress in 2012.
