Happy Friendship Day 2020: In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly (UN) assigned July 30 as the International Day of Friendship to “promote a shared spirit of human solidarity in the form of friendship.”

Friendship Day is seen on July 30 consistently to mark the significance of companions. Otherwise called ‘International Friendship Day’, individuals over the world praise the friendship and the relationship that exist between companions.

For the most part, Friendship Day is commended by trading welcoming cards and celebrating with companions. In any case, the progressing coronavirus emergency has left little trust in that and in this manner this year, individuals should remain at home and observe Friendship Day for all intents and purposes.

In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly (UN) assigned July 30 as the International Day of Friendship to “promote a shared spirit of human solidarity in the form of friendship.

The UN’s idea behind the International Day of Friendship was to inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.”

On the International Day of Friendship, the United Nations supports governments and associations around the globe to hold occasions and exercises that “promote dialogue among civilizations, solidarity, mutual understanding and reconciliation”.

“The International Day of Friendship is an initiative that follows on the proposal made by UNESCO defining the Culture of Peace as a set of values, attitudes and behaviours that reject violence and endeavour to prevent conflicts by addressing their root causes with a view to solving problems. It was then adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1997,” composes the UN on its site.

Be that as it may, a few nations commend friendship day in when the UN-assigned date.

In India, Friendship Day is commended on the first Sunday of each August.

In Oberlin, Ohio, Friendship Day is commended on 9 April, while in Nepal it is celebrated on July 30.
