November 18, 1991 is a memorable date when a new era began in the history of Uzbekistan, when the choice of an independent path was announced through state symbols. On that day, at a session of the Supreme Council, the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan was approved by law, and since then it has been revered as the main symbol of the sovereignty of our country. From the moment the flag was adopted, our people were able to unite their history, values, and faith in the future in one symbol: it has now become a symbol that promotes the name of Uzbekistan in international arenas and promotes the honor of the country.

The flag consists of three horizontal colors - blue, white, and green, separated by thin red stripes. In the upper left corner there is a crescent moon and twelve stars.

The legal status of the flag is also high: as a symbol of state sovereignty, it flies with honor over official buildings, diplomatic missions, major events, and international competitions. The procedure for its use is established by law, and respect for the flag is considered an integral part of civic culture. Therefore, on November 18, educational institutions across the country hold spiritual and educational conversations, flag-raising ceremonies, exhibitions, and events that strengthen the spirit of patriotism. This is not only a tribute to the symbol, but also serves to strengthen the idea in the minds of young people that “The Motherland is one, the flag is sacred.”

Today, the flag unites the dreams and aspirations of our people not only in ceremonies, but also in all spheres of life - in scientific achievements, on sports fields, in creative successes. It puts responsibility on our shoulders and pride in our hearts. As we celebrate November 18, reflecting the meanings of the colors of the flag in our own lives - following the path of purity, hard work, renewal, and harmony - is the greatest honor. The flag is not just a piece of cloth; It is a beacon of hope, a symbol of national pride and unity that connects our past, present, and future.
