Cambodia Flag PNG Images Transparent Background
The flag of Cambodia is a rectangular horizontal tricolor of blue, red, and blue with the emblem of Angkor Wat centered on the red band. The blue color represents the royalty, bravery, and strength of the nation. The red color symbolizes the blood of the people that have died to protect Cambodia, while the temple emblem represents the country’s rich cultural heritage.
The current design of the flag was adopted in 1993 after the end of the civil war in the country. Before that, it underwent several changes that reflected the ruling regime or the political climate of the time.
In 1948, French Cambodia added blue stripes to the red and white flag of the Kingdom of Cambodia to symbolize its association with France in the Union of French Indochina. In 1970, the National Assembly of the Khmer Republic changed the flag altogether to feature a blue stripe, a white emblem, and a red stripe, reflecting the country’s Republican status.
Under the Khmer Rouge regime, the flag was changed again to feature a red background and a yellow star in the center. After the regime fell in 1979, the previous flag was reinstated.
The current Cambodian flag has an aspect ratio of 2:3, meaning that it is twice as long as it is wide. The emblem of Angkor Wat, a world-famous and ancient temple complex located in the country’s northwest, is a powerful symbol of the country’s history, culture, and religion.
The flag is displayed prominently across Cambodia on national holidays and during official events. It is also flown at diplomatic missions and other official buildings abroad to represent the country and its people.
the Cambodian flag is a powerful symbol of the country’s resilience, strength, and rich cultural heritage. It has undergone several changes over the years, but the current design has been in use since 1993 and represents Cambodia’s past, present, and future.
