We are sorry to hear about the passing of the individual who designed the Vanuatu national flag

The Vanuatu flag was designed by local artist Kalontas Malon in 1977 and officially adopted on July 30, 1980, coinciding with the country's independence.

Kalontas Malon has passed away, it would be a significant loss for Vanuatu. His contribution to the nation's identity through the flag is invaluable.

Condolence to the family of kalontas.
