The History of International Day of Friendship
The idea of a day to celebrate friendship first emerged in the 1930s in the United States. However, it wasn't until 2011 that the United Nations officially declared July 30th as International Day of Friendship.
The UN resolution that established International Day of Friendship emphasised the importance of friendship in promoting peace and understanding between nations. The resolution also stressed the importance of building bridges between different communities and cultures, and of promoting dialogue and understanding between people from different backgrounds.
