April 25th, the Representation of the Faroe Islands in Beijing held the Faroese Flag Day reception in the Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark.

On 25 April 1940, the British occupation government approved the flag for use by Faroese vessels. Britain did not want the same flag as German-occupied Denmark to be used. April 25 is still celebrated as Flaggdagur, which is a national holiday. With the Home Rule Act of 1948, the flag, Merkið, was recognized by the Danish Government as the national flag of the Faroes.

Photos from the Faroes were shown on the reception, where the guests among other delicacies could enjoy salmon from the Faroe Islands. Heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful guests, who honoured the Faroe Islands on our Flag Day.
