A parliamentary committee in Kyrgyzstan has given the green light to a draft law proposing a modification to the design of the country’s national flag, TuraNews.kz reports citing the Kabar agency.
During a session of the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament), lawmakers endorsed the bill, advocating for alterations to the national flag’s design, in both the second and third readings. The proposal received substantial support, with 59 deputies voting in favor, while five opposed the change.
The bill, put forth by Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh Nurlanbek Shakiev and Deputy Ulan Primov, aims to enhance one of Kyrgyzstan’s primary state symbols, the national flag. The proposed modification involves transitioning the current wavy pattern of the rays on the flag to a design more reminiscent of sun rays.
Following the successful vote, Speaker Shakiev extended congratulations to his colleagues for their collaborative effort in amending the national flag. This initiative reflects the ongoing commitment to the continuous improvement of Kyrgyzstan’s state symbols.
