Friendship Day 30 Jul 2024

Friendship is like a good cup of tea—comforting, uplifting and best enjoyed with others. That"s why International Day of Friendship, celebrated on July 30 every year, is a perfect occasion to honour the bonds that keep us going. This day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2011. The goal? To inspire peace, bridge cultural gaps and promote understanding through friendships.
