The national flag of Bangladesh is a very important symbol for the country. It was officially chosen on 17 January 1972. The flag has a bright red circle on a green background.

The red circle on the flag stands for the sun rising over the land of Bengal. It also reminds people of the brave individuals who gave their lives for Bangladesh to become an independent country. The green color represents the beautiful, fertile land of Bangladesh. It also shows the energy and new beginnings of the nation's young people.
