Today is a historic day, therefore, a solemn event dedicated to the 29th anniversary of the adoption of the “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan” law was held at the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism.

I wish all your achievements were achieved on our sacred land, under the symbol of our nation - the State Flag of the Motherland”.

On November 18, 1991, our country adopted the Law “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan”. In particular, it states that the national flag is a symbol of state sovereignty.

Every color and symbol on the National Flag carries a deep meaning. They personify the noble ideas of the centuries-old national statehood, natural, national and spiritual characteristics of the country. The Law “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan” defines the color-schematic procedure for the image and installation of this national symbol.

Blue is a symbol of clear sky and water. White as a symbol of peace and purity opens the way for the noble aspirations of the people of Uzbekistan. Green symbolizes renewal and youth, embodies the picturesque nature of the region. Red stripes - blood flowing in the veins of people, reminiscent of freedom-loving ancestors, a symbol of vital power and eternity. A young crescent means peace and tranquillity reigning in the country, as well as a new era in the history of the state. Twelve stars are a symbol of a clear, cloudless sky, perfection, wisdom. 

Respect for the National Flag and its veneration, created on the basis of historical values, symbolizing the past, present and future, is the sacred duty of every citizen.
