A new era began with changes made to the design of the flag of Kyrgyzstan at a ceremony held in the capital Bishkek. The country’s flag was raised at the ceremony held in Ala-Too Square with the participation of the Speaker of the Parliament Nurlanbek Şakiyev and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kilitbek Caparov.
The new Kyrgyzstan flag has been raised!
The ceremony was attended by State Secretary Suyunbek Kasmambetov, Minister of Emergencies Boobek Ajikeyev, Chief of General Staff Ruslan Mukambetov, Bishkek Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Aybek Cunusaliyev and Jusup Matayev and Bekbosun Jaychibekov, who took part in the design of the flag in 1992, and the military band played the Kyrgyz National Anthem. The soldiers raised the giant flag.
According to the changes made with the “Proposal on Amending the Law on State Symbols of the Kyrgyz Republic” approved by President Sadir Djaparov on December 22, 2023, the wave-shaped sun rays on the country’s flag were flattened and the number of lines in the motif in the middle was increased. These changes aim for a stronger and more meaningful representation of Kyrgyzstan’s national symbols.
