Significado de la Bandera

The national flag of Vanuatu (flaeg blong Vanuatu) was adopted on 18 February 1980. In 1977 a flag of almost the same colours and symbolism as the future national flag was designed by local artist Kalontas Malon and adopted by the Vanua'aku Pati. The emblem in the black is a boar's tusk—the symbol of customs and tradition but also prosperity. These leaves are supposed to be a token of peace, and their 39 leaflets represent the original 39 members of the Parliament of Vanuatu.
