In June 1949 the Universal Postal Union reported the results of the third Conference of the African Postal and Telecommunications Union, held in Capetown from November 12 to 27, 1948. The eighteen members of the union — with the French Cameroons, French Equatorial Africa and Madagascar represented for the first time — met to consider the advisability of revising the African Postal Union Agreement of 1939 but concluded that no amendments were necessary. The agreement was, however, supplemented by working arrangements defining in detail the regulations for the various categories of postal services. The fourth meeting of the Conference was scheduled to meet in Leopoldville, Belgian Congo, in July 1953.
