Issued in 1946, this stamp commemorates the Meeting of the Kings and Heads of Government of the Arab States, held in Inshas, Egypt, on 28 May 1946. The design features King Farouk I of Egypt alongside the conference venue at Inshas, where Arab leaders gathered to discuss political cooperation and issues of common concern following the Second World War.
