CA Yunus congratulates Bangladesh team on re-election to Universal Postal Union council
The election was held in Dubai yesterday, where Bangladesh secured 97 out of 157 votes, ranking ninth among 10 elected members.
Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus today (19 September) 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 yesterday, where Bangladesh secured 97 out of 157 votes, ranking ninth among 10 elected members. This marks Bangladesh's second consecutive four-year term on the UPU Council of Administration.

Concerns had therefore been raised that this lack of engagement could hinder its re-election bid.
However, through a concerted diplomatic effort, Bangladesh overcame the challenge, with Tareq Ahmed, Bangladesh's Ambassador to the UAE, hailing the outcome as a "diplomatic success."
