Suriname

About the flag

The flag displayed is that of Suriname, characterized by its distinct horizontal stripes and a large, five-pointed star. The green stripe symbolizes the country's lush vegetation, the white represents peace, the red signifies progress and struggle, and the yellow stands for the country's wealth, while the star embodies hope and unity. This flag was officially adopted in 1975 when Suriname gained independence from the Netherlands. To remember the Suriname flag, focus on its unique color combination: green, red, and yellow stripes with a central star, differentiating it from the flags of Brazil, Haiti, and Peru. Suriname, located on the northeastern coast of South America, is one of the smallest countries on the continent and is known for its rich biodiversity and multicultural society, further enriching its identity reflected in the flag.
