Issued in 1965, this stamp commemorates the EURAFRIQUE (Eurafrica) initiative, a concept that promoted closer economic cooperation and development between Europe and Africa. During the 1960s, Eurafrica was associated with efforts to strengthen trade, agricultural development, industrial growth, and technical cooperation between the two continents, reflecting the belief that shared economic progress could benefit both regions.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania highlighted the importance of international cooperation in fostering agricultural and industrial development. The issue emphasized the value of economic partnership, technological exchange, and mutual assistance between African and European countries, while promoting the goals of modernization, productivity, and improved living standards through cooperation and development.
