The State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan, along with the National Emblem and the Anthem, is the most essential attribute of the country’s sovereignty and identity. It was officially approved on November 18, 1991, at the eighth session of the Supreme Council, just two months after Uzbekistan declared its independence. The flag reflects not only historical roots, but also the people’s aspiration for freedom and identity.
“Each color and symbol of the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan has a deep meaning. Blue is associated with a peaceful sky, white with purity and goodness, green symbolizes nature and rebirth, and the red stripes remind us of the courage and resilience of our people. All this together reflects the rich culture and history of the country. While in Moscow, we Uzbeks try to maintain traditions: we gather for holidays, cook national dishes, and sing Uzbek songs. This helps us not to forget our roots and pass on our culture to future generations. When I see the flag of Uzbekistan, I feel a sense of pride, and, of course, I remember my homeland, my loved ones, the traditions and values that I inherited”, noted our compatriot Sherzod Usmanov.
