GCC postal heads back proposal for world meet
The heads of postal corporations of the GCC States have backed Qatar in its efforts to host the Universal Postal Union’s World Postal Congress in 2012.
At a meeting held at the Q-Post head office yesterday, they also agreed to intensify their efforts to launch a logistics company, to be maintained and operated by the region’s postal corporations.
The countries have also agreed to participate in the world exhibition of stamps to be held as part of the UPU’s next World Postal Congress, scheduled for the last week of July in the Romanian capital of Bucharest.
The meeting also urged the Qatar Philately and Numismatic Club to strive for a Gulf Philately Union, with a world character. The Emirates Post made a proposal to jointly raise the issue of terminal use at the next WPC.
It pointed out that the latest move of the UPU to put GCC States in different postal zones would adversely affect the revenues of the postal corporations. Earlier Q-Post chairman Ali Mohamed al-Ali declared the meeting open.
