Issued in 1960, this stamp commemorates the Arab League Centre in Cairo, the headquarters of the League of Arab States, an organization founded in 1945 to promote political, economic, cultural, and social cooperation among Arab countries. The Arab League played an important role in coordinating joint initiatives, strengthening relations between member states, and addressing issues of common concern throughout the Arab world.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Kingdom of Libya expressed its support for Arab cooperation and solidarity. The issue highlighted the importance of the Arab League as a forum for dialogue and collective action, while emphasizing the shared aspirations of Arab nations for closer collaboration, regional development, and stronger cultural and political ties.
