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.
