The Caribbean Postal Union (CPU) is an association established by treaty [1] of the postal authorities of the following member countries:[1] The bloc was established with the assistance of the European Union for member-states of CARIFORUM as part of the bloc of the African, Caribbean, and Pacific Group of States.[2]
It was founded in 1997 [3] as a restricted union of the Universal Postal Union.[31]
In 2000 it was decided by the union's members in attendance for the CPU to be headquartered in Castries, Saint Lucia.[4] Therein is the secretariat for the regional coordinator for the Universal Postal Union and the technical officer for the Caribbean Postal Union.[5]
In 2022 the CPU formed a think tank with the goal to improve transport of mail throughout the Caribbean.[6]
Decisions by the union are undertaken by the bloc's annual meetings.
