Azerbaijan was elected as a member of the Council of Administration and the Postal Operations Council for the 2025-2029 term within the 28th Congress of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in Dubai, UAE.
Azerbaijan gained the right to be a member of both supreme bodies for the first time in its history.
This pivotal event is the result of Azerbaijan's growing authority in the international postal system, its contribution to technological development and inter-agency collaboration.
Azerbaijan will directly participate in the management of the UPU, and have a voice in decisions on strategy, management and budget of the organization. This enables the country to play an active role in shaping and managing the global postal system.
Azerbaijan was previously represented in the supreme bodies of the UPU. The country was first elected to the Council of Administration at the 23rd Congress held in Bucharest in 2004, and then to both of the organization’s supreme bodies – the Council of Administration and the Postal Operations Council – at the 24th Congress held in Geneva in 2008. At the 26th Congress, held in Istanbul in 2016, Azerbaijan once again became a member of the Postal Operations Council.
