This stamp commemorates a major landmark in pan-Arab diplomacy: the 1960 inauguration of the permanent Arab League Headquarters building in Cairo. The illustration depicts the striking modernist architecture of the complex, representing a new era of institutional structure and unified political purpose for the Arab world. An inset on the left features Sudan's post-independence rhinoceros emblem enclosed in a wreath, symbolizing the nation's active role, commitment, and diplomatic weight as an integrated member state of the League.
