Issued in 1945, this stamp commemorates the Cairo Conference that led to the establishment of the League of Arab States (Arab League). The design features the flags of the participating Arab nations surrounding the emblem of the newly created organization. The Arab League was formally founded on 22 March 1945 in Cairo by seven founding members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen. Its creation marked a significant step toward strengthening political, economic, cultural, and social cooperation among Arab countries.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Kingdom of Egypt celebrated the founding of the Arab League and its role as host of the historic conference and headquarters of the organization. The issue highlighted the ideals of Arab solidarity, cooperation, and mutual assistance, while emphasizing the importance of regional dialogue and collective action in advancing the shared interests and aspirations of the Arab world.
