Proportions: 2:3
Flag adopted 1975-DEC-02, coat of arms adopted 1991-AUG-14
Presentation of Laos
The current flag was adopted in 1975 and was the flag of the Pathet Lao. It replaced the flag used since 1952. The flag of Laos is one of the few communist-style flags not featuring a star.
The colors of the flag represent:
Red: the blood shed in the fight for freedom;
Blue: wealth;
White: represents the full moon over the Mekong River as well as unity under the communist government.
DK Pocket Book says:
(caption on the left of the flag): "The white disc on a blue stripe represents the full moon over Mekong river."
(caption on the right of the flag): "The white disc symbolizes unity under Communism."
(in text): "In the centre is a white disc symbolizing the unity of the people under the leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and the country's bright future.[...] The white disc on a blue background is also said to represent a full moon against the Mekong river."
