Arab League 80th anniversary

The Arab League was formed in Cairo on March 22, 1945, and at the occasion of the 80th anniversary, the General Secretariat proposed a joint stamp issue based on a common design. Three countries, Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia issued a stamp on March 22, 2025. The design shows the logo of the League, a large figure “80” and the building of the headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.

The League was initially formed with seven members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and North Yemen. Currently, the League has 22 members, i.e., Algeria, Bahrain, the Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, which all of them could theoretically participate to this joint issue. Information from the other 19 countries is awaited, not necessarily with a date of issue of March 22, 2025. Thanks to Med Achour Ali Ahmed (Algeria) and Kenneth Sequeira (Singapore) who provided the first information and pictures related to this issue.
