Emirates Post supports initiative for solving housing shortage in UAE

As a sponsor of the 1st Housing Conference organized by Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme in co-operation with United Nations Human Settlements Programme, Emirates Post has fully supported the first-ever Housing Conference in the UAE.

"We are all aware of the pioneering work that the Zayed Housing Program has been doing in providing housing for UAE nationals across the UAE," Ibrahim Bin Karam, CEO of Emirates Post. "This conference will help the UAE move to the next level in its mission to provide housing for all in the near future. Emirates Post is proud to support this conference."

Participating in the conference, Emirates Post officials presented Sheikh Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Public Works and Chairman of Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, with a frame containing stamps on the President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nayhan. The frame was presented by Khalid Al Sadi, Deputy Director, 1st Postal Zone, Emirates Post, on behalf of Emirates Post.

Faisal Al Nuaimi, Acting Assistant Director General, Development & Marketing, Emirates Post, said:

"The sponsorship of the conference comes as a strategic step towards strengthening the relationship between Emirates Post and Zayed Housing Programme. This also strengthens our existing partnership in which we allow customers to submit their Zayed Housing Programme forms at any of the 95 branches of Emirates Post across the UAE."

The 1st Housing Conference was held in Abu Dhabi from October 14 to 16, 2008.
