Issued in 1965, this stamp commemorates the 100th anniversary of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), founded in 1865 to promote international cooperation in telecommunications. The design incorporates symbols representing telegraphy, telephony, radio, and modern communications technologies, reflecting a century of progress in connecting people and nations through increasingly advanced communication networks.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Kingdom of Libya joined countries around the world in celebrating the centenary of one of the oldest international organizations. The issue highlighted the importance of telecommunications in economic development, scientific progress, and international understanding, while recognizing the ITU's role in establishing global standards and fostering cooperation in the rapidly evolving field of communications.
