Doha-

HE Minister of Transport and Communications Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti met here Tuesday with MR. Bishar Abdirahman Hussein, General Director of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in response to the complaint the State of Qatar had submitted to the UPU about blockading countries’ infringements on the UPU Constitution and General Regulations, which are the first of their kind in the world and a dangerous precedent to the UPU conventions.

The two officials discussed blockading countries’ violations of UPU systems, particularly Article 4 of UPU conventions relating to freedom of transit of postal items.

The meeting also emphasized the postal correspondence is a human right and delivering them to their destinations is a social matter.

The meeting also reviewed cooperation in the field of post and means of furthering enhancing and developing them, as well as boosting relations between Qatar and the UPU.

The meeting was attended by HE Mohammed Ali Al Mannai, President of the Communications Regulatory Authority and Mr. Faleh Mohamed Al-Naemi, Qatar Post Chairman, and Managing Director.
