The International Day of Friendship was established by the United Nations General Assembly on July 27, 2011, through Resolution A/RES/65/275. The day was inspired by the friendship and fellowship exhibited among various cultures and countries throughout history. The initiative was proposed by UNESCO and was supported by many countries, including Paraguay, where a similar national celebration called “Friendship Day” (Día del Amigo) had been observed since 1958.
The United Nations recognized the importance of friendship as a means to promote mutual understanding and respect among people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. The International Day of Friendship was created as a way to encourage friendship and solidarity between individuals, countries, and cultures, with the ultimate goal of fostering world peace and promoting social and cultural diversity.
International Day of Friendship is celebrated annually on July 30 to acknowledge the power of friendship as a means of promoting understanding, compassion, and peace among people from different cultures, religions, and backgrounds. The day serves as a reminder that human solidarity is essential for building bridges between communities and overcoming the challenges that divide the world.
