This commemorative set of five stamps was issued by the Government of Jordan on November 12, 1964, to mark the Arab Summit Conference held on January 13, 1964. The conference was a significant diplomatic gathering where Arab leaders convened to discuss regional issues, particularly the Palestinian question and coordinated Arab responses to regional challenges. Each stamp in the set features a portrait of King Hussein of Jordan alongside a stylized map showing Palestine as it existed in 1920, before the territorial changes that followed. The map is rendered in different colors across the denominations (10, 15, 25, 50, and 80 fils), creating visual variety while maintaining thematic consistency. The stamps bear Arabic text indicating the conference theme and date (مؤتمر القمة العربي ١٩٦٤-١-١٣), emphasizing Jordan's role in Arab unity and the Palestinian cause. The design symbolically connects Jordan's Hashemite leadership under King Hussein with the broader Arab nationalist movement and the ongoing concern for Palestinian territorial integrity. The set was also produced as a souvenir sheet containing all five designs and issued in imperforate varieties, reflecting the ceremonial importance of this diplomatic milestone.
أصدرت الحكومة الأردنية هذه المجموعة التذكارية المكونة من خمسة طوابع في ١٢ نوفمبر ١٩٦٤ للاحتفال بمؤتمر القمة العربي الذي عقد في ١٣ يناير ١٩٦٤. كان المؤتمر تجمعاً دبلوماسياً مهماً حيث اجتمع القادة العرب لمناقشة القضايا الإقليمية، وخاصة القضية الفلسطينية والاستجابات العربية المنسقة للتحديات الإقليمية. يحمل كل طابع في المجموعة صورة للملك حسين ملك الأردن إلى جانب خريطة مصممة تظهر فلسطين كما كانت في عام ١٩٢٠، قبل التغييرات الإقليمية التي تلت ذلك. تظهر الخريطة بألوان مختلفة عبر الفئات (١٠ و١٥ و٢٥ و٥٠ و٨٠ فلساً)، مما يخلق تنوعاً بصرياً مع الحفاظ على التماسك الموضوعي. تحمل الطوابع نصاً عربياً يشير إلى موضوع المؤتمر وتاريخه، مؤكدة دور الأردن في الوحدة العربية والقضية الفلسطينية. يربط التصميم رمزياً بين القيادة الهاشمية في الأردن تحت حكم الملك حسين والحركة القومية العربية الأوسع والاهتمام المستمر بالسلامة الإقليمية الفلسطينية.
