The United States, December 11, 2015. On December 10, representatives from Cuba and the U.S. held talks on direct postal services between the two countries. The Cuban delegation was presided by the island’s Ambassador to the United States, José Ramón Cabañas Rodríguez, while the U.S. party was headed by Executive Director of International Relations of the U.S. Postal Service, Lea Emerson.

Both parties agreed to re-establish direct postal services between the two countries through a Pilot Scheme which will be implemented over the coming weeks, with the hope of eventually establishing a permanent system in the future.

The date on which direct postal services will commence will be announced shortly, once the relevant technical, operational and security details have been resolved.

During the meeting, the Cuban delegation offered examples of the negative impact of the U.S. blockade on state entity, Correos de Cuba.

Conversations took place in a respectful, professional and constructive climate.
