Q-Post confident to win postal congress bid
Qatar has very good chances of winning the bid to host the 25th Universal Postal Union Congress in 2012 “in view of the broad Arab and world support it enjoys and of its long and internationally-recognised experience in organising world-class gatherings and conferences”, an official source said yesterday.
The country, to host the conference, has to secure a majority of votes of the 191 member-states which are meeting for the 24th UPU Congress in Geneva from July 23 to August 13.
A delegation representing the General Postal Corporation (Q-Post) headed by its chairman and general manager Ali Mohamed al-Ali will participate in the congress in Geneva.
In an interview with QNA, al-Ali expressed confidence that “Qatar’s potentials and its long experience in hosting conferences and international events besides its well-established security and stability, are all factors that qualify Doha to host the UPU Congress”.
Qatar Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Abdulla Falah al-Dosari, has assured the UPU of Qatar’s preparedness to host the UPU congress in 2012 and to offer all necessary facilities to make this event a success, he said.
More than 1,500 delegates from the UPU’s 191 member-countries will attend the congress.
The UPU has the objective to develop social, cultural and commercial communication between people through the efficient operation of the postal service. As an inter-governmental institution, the UPU is called upon to play an important leadership role in promoting the continued revitalisation of postal services.
