The Cabinet Office advised that Minister Vance Campbell is currently attending the Universal Postal Union [UPU] Regional Strategy Forum 2024.
A Government spokesperson said, “Taking place in the Cayman Islands, from June 3 – 4, the Forum is an important gathering that will deliberate on the future strategy development of the UPU, which is a specialised agency of the United Nations.
“Minister Campbell joins other regional Ministers and delegates to discuss the UPU’s proposed strategic framework for 2026–2029. In particular, Minister Campbell is participating in a panel discussion titled: Innovations in the global postal ecosystem: driving transformation and growth.”
Minister Campbell said today, “I’m pleased to be able to represent Bermuda at this critical forum which affords us an opportunity to share the innovative ways Bermuda is evolving its postal service. We are committed to doing our part to strengthen the global postal ecosystem through innovation. And our discussions at this week’s conference will be in keeping with embracing technological and digital advancements and promoting service diversification.”
The Government spokesperson said, “Other topics that will be covered include how postal operators leverage technological advancements to enhance service offerings, as well as how collaboration and engagement with stakeholders can foster growth and innovation within the postal sector.
“Minister Campbell is accompanied to this week’s UPU Regional Strategy Forum by Permanent Secretary Pandora Glasford and Postmaster General [PMG] Sam Brangman.

Maybe he can find out if mail still gets delivered in Cayman if the forecast is cloudy with showers possible?
Too funny. When we have not received any mail for a while, including junk mail, I go down to the post office and ask for my mail. And every time the person behind the counter gave me dirty looks, no explanation, and a few weeks of mail that was not delivered.
Still waiting for a letter mailed to me in May 2016 from Hamilton to arrive.
“Still waiting for a letter mailed to me in May 2016 from Hamilton to arrive.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed delivery.
Do you by chance live in Somerset? I have experienced such delays in Somerset for years.
The covid farce lockdown was in 2020, 4 years before the letter was mailed. I suspect the letter ended up in a furnace.
How is this worth anything at all? Nobody uses the postal service anymore. The Bermuda Postal Service advises you yo use Fedex and DHL!
The only thing worth keeping is the Perot Post Office and that hasn’t re-opened despite being a wonderful piece of history that tourists adore. But this government would rather send its ministers on expensive fun trips like this one. Jokers.
I had several meetings with the Postmaster General years ago where he discussed turning post offices into Internet cafes with Starbucks-like food service.
