Issued in 1960, this stamp commemorates the headquarters of the League of Arab States (Arab League) in Cairo, Egypt. Founded in 1945, the Arab League was established to strengthen political, economic, cultural, and social cooperation among Arab nations and to coordinate policies on matters of common interest. The building depicted on the stamp served as the organization's principal administrative center and a symbol of Arab collaboration and regional diplomacy.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Lebanese Republic highlighted its support for Arab cooperation and the goals of the Arab League. The issue celebrated the importance of regional dialogue, mutual assistance, and collective action among Arab states, while emphasizing the role of the League in promoting understanding, development, and closer ties throughout the Arab world.
