Following the historic 1969 Rabat Summit, foreign ministers of Islamic nations gathered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in March 1970 (Moharram 1390 AH) for the First Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers. Hosted under the auspices of King Faisal bin Abdulaziz, the conference laid the institutional foundation for establishing the permanent Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Jeddah and mobilizing unified diplomatic and financial support across the Muslim world.

Issued in March 1970, this Saudi postage stamp (SAUDI ARABIA / المملكة العربية السعودية) commemorates The Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (مؤتمر وزراء الخارجية الإسلامي). The central circular seal depicts the Holy Kaaba in Mecca framed by radiant rays, surrounded by English and Arabic commemorative text. Vertical side inscriptions highlight the issue's semi-postal surcharge designated For the Support of the Palestinian Fedayeen (لصالح المجاهدين الفلسطينيين).
