International Cooperation Year (1965) – Gulf Cooperation and Friendship
This stamp forms part of the same International Cooperation Year 1965 series and again depicts Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi together with Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah. The prominent handshake symbol, framed by laurel branches, represents peaceful cooperation and mutual respect among nations. During the 1960s, the Gulf states increasingly sought closer relations in areas such as trade, communications, infrastructure, and regional development.
By issuing this stamp, Ras Al Khaima expressed support for the global message of cooperation promoted by the United Nations. The issue commemorates the growing bonds between the peoples and leaders of the Gulf region and highlights the belief that collaboration and understanding are vital foundations for prosperity, development, and lasting regional friendship.
