<Tr> <Th> Name </Th> <Td> Presidential Standard </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Design </Th> <Td> National flag with the addition of the inscription "Le President" </Td> </Tr> <P> The national flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a sky blue flag, adorned with a yellow star in the upper left canton and cut diagonally by a red stripe with a yellow fimbriation . It was adopted on 20 February 2006 . A new constitution, ratified in December 2005 and which came into effect in February 2006, promoted a return to a flag similar to that flown between 1963 and 1971, with a change from a royal blue to sky blue background . Blue represents peace . Red stands for "the blood of the country's martyrs", yellow the country's wealth; and the star a radiant future for the country . (subscription required) </P> <P> The previous flag was adopted in 2003 . It is similar to the flag used between 1960 and 1963 . The flag is based on the flag which was originally used by King Leopold's Association Internationale Africaine and was first used in 1877 . The design was then implemented as the flag of the Congo Free State after the territory was recognized as an official possession of Leopold II at the Berlin Conference . After gaining independence from Belgium on 30 June 1960, the same basic design was maintained . However, six stars were incorporated to symbolise the six provinces of the country at the time . This design was used only from 1960 to 1963 . This flag was reimplemented in 1997, when the Mobutu government was overthrown and the country assumed its current designation of Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the 2003 flag only being different by using a lighter shade of blue . </P>
