Issued in 1946, this stamp commemorates the Inshas Conference of Arab Kings and Heads of State and features King Faisal II of Iraq. Although still a minor at the time, Faisal II was the reigning monarch of Iraq, with the kingdom represented at the conference through its government and royal household. The gathering symbolized the growing cooperation among Arab nations in the years following the establishment of the Arab League.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Kingdom of Egypt recognized Iraq's participation in this important regional meeting. The issue emphasized the values of Arab unity, consultation, and cooperation, highlighting the efforts of Arab states to strengthen their political and cultural ties during a significant period in modern Middle Eastern history.
