Metoki, a veteran of Japan’s postal system and former Chair of the UPU’s Postal Operations Council, was re-elected by acclamation, reflecting broad international support.
Osvald, who garnered 99 votes, brings over two decades of strategic and operational experience in international postal affairs. Both leaders are expected to continue driving the UPU’s modernization agenda and deepen global postal cooperation during a time of ongoing transformation in the sector.
