Arab League Centre Building
This commemorative stamp was issued by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to celebrate the formal inauguration of the new Arab League Headquarters (General Secretariat) in Cairo, Egypt. Released on March 22, 1960, the issue marked the 15th anniversary of the founding of the League of Arab States, which had been established in Cairo in March 1945. By issuing this stamp, Jordan commemorated a milestone in pan-Arab architectural and political cooperation, reinforcing its active, founding-member role within the regional coalition.
The historic building, located in Cairo near Tahrir Square, was designed to serve as a centralized administrative hub for coordination, summits, and diplomatic initiatives across the Arab world. By celebrating the completion of this landmark complex, the postal release underscored Jordan's ongoing commitment to collective regional diplomacy, economic integration, and cultural unity. Today, this issue serves as a compelling philatelic record of the mid-20th-century modernization of joint Arab political institutions.
