This flag was
first used in 1945 by the independentist government Lao Issara.
It was then taken over by the comunist and independentist
organization Pathet Lao who has finaly kept it as the national
flag during his seizure of power and the proclamation of the
republic in 1975. It consists of three horizontal stripes, the
upper and lower bands of red, the middle of blue color. In the
center is a white disc with a diameter equal to 4/5 of the
height of the blue stripe. The red color represents the blood
shed for independence and the blue represents the Mekong or the
health of the country. The white disc symbolizes the Moon over
the Mekong or the unity of the country under the comunist
government. The present pattern was adopted on 2 DECEMBER 1975.
