“Today we honor the Tricolor, the State Flag of our country—a symbol that unites us as a people and reminds us of our journey toward freedom, independence, and our place in the world. Honoring the State Flag means knowing our past and respecting our history. Each color reflects the character and traditions of our people,” said Grosu in his speech.

He added that State Flag Day is also an opportunity to thank all those who proudly carry the tricolor both at home and abroad.

“Under this flag, our ancestors fought for freedom. Under the same flag, we have the duty to build the future and take Moldova where it belongs: into a community of free and prosperous nations.
