New Delhi, Sep 20, 2025 : India has been re-elected to the Council of Administration and the Postal Operations Council (POC) of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) during the 28th UPU Congress held in Dubai.

Ministry of Communications said in a statement that India’s re-election reflects the confidence of the international community in India Post’s leadership, reforms, and innovative digital initiatives.

Union Minister for Communication Jyotiraditya Scindia in a social media post said, this milestone reflects India’s growing global leadership under the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He said, at the heart of this is the steadfast guidance of External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar, whose relentless efforts and expertise were instrumental in securing this achievement.

India has been a member of the UPU since 1876 and has consistently contributed to strengthening the global postal network.

The Universal Postal Union, a specialised agency of the United Nations, is the primary forum for cooperation among postal sector stakeholders.

The Council of Administration is responsible for policy, regulatory and governance matters, while the POC is the technical and operational body that drives the modernisation of postal services worldwide.
