Conference of Arab Kings and Heads of State, Beirut- The 6 Arab Leaders
Serving as the culmination of the November 1956 Beirut Summit series (CONFÉRENCE DES ROIS ET CHEFS D'ÉTATS ARABES BEYROUTH 1956 / مؤتمر بيروت لملوك العرب ورؤوسائهم ١٩٥٦), this high-denomination airmail stamp brings together the heads of state who gathered to coordinate diplomatic support for Egypt during the Suez Crisis and strengthen regional security.
Issued in November 1956, this airmail postage stamp (LIBAN / POSTE AÉRIENNE / لبنان) features a distinct circular rosette arrangement showcasing oval portraits of six key Arab leaders radiating from a central arabesque motif: host President Camille Chamoun of Lebanon, King Hussein of Jordan, President Shukri al-Quwatli of Syria, King Faisal II of Iraq, President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and King Saud of Saudi Arabia. The intricate design symbolizes collective leadership, Pan-Arab unity, and shared diplomatic resolve.
