30 July
International Friendship Day
The first World Friendship Day was proposed in 1958, by the World Friendship Crusade.
In 2011, International Day of Friendship was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.
The resolution places emphasis on involving young people, as future leaders, in community activities that include different cultures and promote international understanding and respect for diversity.
