About International Friendship Day
International Friendship Day is celebrated on July 30 every year. The day was first proposed in 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade, an international civil organization that campaigns to foster a culture of peace through friendship. Many years later, in 2011, the 30th July was declared as the International Day of Friendship by the General Assembly of United Nations.
