Issued in 1946, this stamp commemorates the Inshas Conference of Arab Kings and Heads of State, held in Egypt on 28 May 1946, and features King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, the founder and ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As one of the most influential Arab leaders of the period, King Abdulaziz played a key role in promoting cooperation among Arab states during the early years of the League of Arab States, established in 1945.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Kingdom of Egypt honored King Abdulaziz's participation in the conference and highlighted the importance of Arab solidarity and regional cooperation. The issue celebrated the efforts of Arab leaders to strengthen political relations and address common concerns, reflecting the growing spirit of unity and collaboration within the Arab world after the Second World War.
