Flag of Panama

The flag of Panama is divided into four fields – along one diagonal it is a full blue and red field, along the other it is a white field bearing a blue and red star. Due to its strategic geographical location, Panama has always been at the center of interest of commercial powers. It was first ruled by the Spanish, later by the Colombians, and became independent only in 1903. Shortly after that, the United States began building the Panama Canal here, which was completed in 1914. The flag, designed by President Amador Guerre, is supposed to express an effort to solve the structural problems of domestic politics caused by significant external interventions in the running of the country. The blue and red colors represent right and left, and the white background on the fields with stars represents peace.

Panama (Spanish: Panamá) is a state in Central America that borders Costa Rica in the west and Colombia in the east. The Panama Canal, which crosses the country, connects the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. See Panama Location on World Map.
