Suriname Flag GIF (Suriname Vlag)



The flag of Suriname (Dutch: Vlag van Suriname) consists of five horizontal bands of different heights: green, white, red, white, and green, respectively, from top to bottom. There's a big, yellow, five-pointed star centered on the red band. The star represents the unity of all ethnic groups. The color red means progress and love. The color green expresses hope and fertility. And the white color symbolizes peace and justice. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 2:3, and the flag was adopted on November 25, 1975.

The ship on the shield in its coat of arms symbolizes the history of slavery in Suriname, the people shipped from Africa, and the country's participation in international trade. The royal palm represents the country's rainforest and agribusiness, while the diamond represents the mining industry. Its shield is represented by two Arawak Indians, representing the unity of the indigenous people.

The Suriname flag is waving on a flagpole rising from the globe.
