The First Arab Journalists Conference - 20 fils
The First Arab Journalists Conference (مؤتمر الصحفيين العرب الأول) was convened in Kuwait in February 1965, gathering prominent journalists, editors, and media figures from across the Arab world. The landmark conference focused on fostering media cooperation, shaping regional journalism standards, and establishing a unified professional network under the core banner of press freedom and journalistic responsibility (حرية ومسؤولية). This historic assembly ultimately laid the groundwork for the founding of the General Union of Arab Journalists.
To mark hosting this inaugural regional media conference in February 1965, Kuwait’s postal administration issued a dedicated commemorative stamp series printed by the Pakistan Security Printing Corporation. Releasing dedicated postage for the event highlighted Kuwait's growing reputation as a vibrant hub for press freedom, open intellectual discourse, and regional Arab diplomacy during the early years following its independence.
