About Uzbekistan and its flag
Uzbekistan’s national flag is its state-sovereignty symbol and represents the republic internationally, according to the Government Portal. The rectangular design combines blue, white, and green horizontal bands, thin red separators, and a crescent with twelve stars at the upper hoist.
Flag design and meaning
Three full-length horizontal bands run blue, white, then green from top to bottom, with a thin red stripe between each neighbouring band. In the upper hoist is a crescent followed by twelve stars, providing the flag’s distinctive detail.
- Blue band: The Government Portal says blue symbolises sky and water, described there as the main sources of life.
- White band: The portal identifies white as a traditional symbol of peace and good luck.
- Crescent and twelve stars: The portal says the crescent symbolises the newly independent republic; it associates twelve stars with spiritual significance, historic traditions, and an ancient solar calendar.
History and adoption
The law on the State Flag was adopted by Uzbekistan’s Supreme Council on 18 November 1991 at its eighth session. The Government Portal presents the flag as a symbol of sovereignty and the state’s representative in international relations, placing the legal adoption in the early independence period.
How to recognise this flag
- Look for two very narrow red dividers that frame the wide white centre band.
- At the upper hoist, identify a crescent paired with exactly twelve stars.
