Series Overview

XXXIDB is the event plate associated with the 30th Annual Meeting of the Islamic Development Bank Board of Governors, hosted in Putrajaya in June 2005.

Malaysian prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi delivered the opening address at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre on 23 June 2005, and United Nations records refer to the 30th Annual Meeting of the Islamic Development Bank held in Malaysia on 23 and 24 June 2005.

The prefix is best read as XXX IDB: Roman numeral XXX for 30, followed by IDB. That dating corrects the common error of describing XXXIDB as a 31st meeting plate from 2006; the 31st IDB annual meeting was held in Kuwait in May 2006, so the Malaysian XXXIDB plate story belongs to the 30th meeting in 2005.

Like other summit and conference plates, XXXIDB was not a normal public registration series. It was a protocol-style identifier for official and delegate vehicles.

XXXIDB sits in the same family as XIIINAM, XOIC and ASEAN event plates: long, event-specific, and built for organised movement. Its interest is historical and contextual, tied to Putrajaya's hosting role and the Islamic Development Bank meeting.
