History of Political Flag Day
Today’s Mongolian flag is made up of different elements.
The blue color stripe represents the sky and the red bands portray the strength of Mongolia.
The golden Soyombo symbol is placed on the red area closest to the flagpole.

This symbol appears not only on the national flag but it’s considered as a symbol of the Mongolian People’s Army as well.
On June 10, 1945, Mongolian leader Khorloogiin Choibalsan ordered the revision of the provisions in the “Law on the Design and Composition of the State Flag” at the 43rd Meeting of the State Little Khural of the Mongolian People’s Republic.
Due to this, three Members of Parliament in the State Great Khural passed a law establishing this day in 2008. It was then celebrated the following year in 2009 during President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj’s inauguration.
It’s also a day to celebrate the anniversaries of the Mongol Empire and the Mongolian Statehood, the establishment of the Bogd Khanate in the Qing dynasty, the People’s Revolution of 1921, and the Democratic Revolution of 1990.
It coincides with Naadam, a national festival that focuses on the three traditional games of archery, horse racing, and wrestling which begins the next day on July 11.
The main event during the day is the annual military parade of the Mongolian Armed Forces. It’s been held in the southern part of Sükhbaatar Square every year since 2009 and is presided over by the president of Mongolia as their commander in chief.
