International Day of Friendship

Friendship, a cornerstone of human connection, provides emotional support, companionship, and contributes to overall well-being. International Friendship Day, celebrated on July 30, was established to promote peace and understanding among nations by the UN.

An international celebration was first suggested by the World Friendship Crusade in 1958, but in 2011 the UN declared the International Day of Friendship.

People around the world commemorate this day by gathering with friends, exchanging gifts, and expressing gratitude for their relationships. Whether it's a lifelong bond or a newly formed connection, friendships enrich our lives and foster a sense of belonging. In different parts of the world, this date is celebrated in other days.
