Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Friday congratulated the Bangladesh delegation on the country’s re-election to the Council of Administration (CA) of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).


The election was held in Dubai on Thursday, where Bangladesh secured 97 out of 157 votes, ranking 9th among the 10 elected members.

This marks Bangladesh’s second consecutive four-year term on the CA, according to Chief Adviser’s press wing.

During its previous tenure, Bangladesh’s role was limited—attending only one physical meeting in November 2021 and following the rest of the proceedings virtually, without significant scope for contribution.

Concerns had therefore been raised that this lack of engagement could hinder the re-election bid.

However, through a concerted diplomatic effort, Bangladesh overcame the challenge, reports UNB. 

Ambassador Tareq Ahmed, Bangladesh’s envoy to the UAE, hailed the outcome as a 'diplomatic success'.
