Early this week (September 3-4) Mexico summoned the leaders of
the Central-American Parliament, plus those from Belize and
Panama. In the meeting room appeared the flag of the seven
participant countries, in between them those of Mexico and of the
Central American Parliament (CAP). The meeting was broadcasted by
the cable-channel "Canal de Congreso". The CAP's flag
is plain dark blue with the emblem in the center. The emblem
consists of a white ring with five blue five-pointed stars in the
upper hemi-circle and the body's name in capital letters also in
blue on the lower one. On the ring, centered, six triangles, one
in white and bigger than the others. The remainder five, aligned
in the largest one's base, are blue. The triangles stands
for volcanoes, geographic feature of Central-America. There are a
Blue flag as hoisted jointly to the other during the Mexico's
meeting, as well a Blue flag with gold fringe as appeared on the
presidium table during the meeting.
