The rectangle of the flag is seen as a large blue field symbolizing the infinite space
of the sea and sky.
The ten yellow stars represent the 10 islands.
The circle of the stars symbolizes the Cape Verdean Nation and its unity.
The circle in a certain sense, is the world to which we are opened and that is opened to us; is the
line of horizon which limits our freedom, that is the world map, but is also the mariner's compass and the helm of the navigators.
The strips are the road to the construction of the country.
The blue is the sea and the sky.
The white is the peace we want.
The red is our effort.
