Brunei At UPU Meet
By Lyna Mohamad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Minister of Communications Pehin Dato Hi Awg Abu Bakar Hj Apong is leading Brunei delegates to the Universal Postal Union (UPU) Strategy Conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from Nov 14-18.

The minister is accompanied by the ministry's acting Permanent Secretary Pg Hj Mohd Yakub Pg Hj Othman, Post Master General Hj Abd Kadir Hj Tengah and several senior officials from the ministry and the Postal Services Department.

A thousand delegates from more than 130 member countries, leaders from government, postal operators and private sectors, will be discussing and analysing the changing environment and exploring ways of building a dynamic global infrastructure able to satisfy customer needs. This is the first time the conference is organised away from its headquarters, Switzerland.

Dubai is hosting this year's UPU under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and ruler of Dubai.

"With the growing trend of globalisation coupled with the rapid development of ICT, Postal Services Department is continuously facing challenges to maintain its relevancy in providing postal services in the country despite the existence of competitors," the ministry said. The Department of Postal Services needs to learn from the experience of developed and developing countries on the various strategies and new products available and how existing products could further be improved to meet customer needs, it added. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
