Happy International Friendship Day 2024: 30 heartfelt wishes and messages you can share with your friends

International Friendship Day is a special occasion celebrated worldwide to honour the unique bonds of friendship. The concept of dedicating a day to celebrate friendships was first proposed in 1958 by Dr. Ramon Artemio Bracho during a dinner with friends in Paraguay.

This idea led to the establishment of the World Friendship Crusade, an organisation that promotes friendship and fellowship among all human beings, regardless of race, colour, or religion.

The United Nations officially recognised July 30 as International Friendship Day in 2011, highlighting the importance of friendship as a noble and valuable sentiment in the lives of human beings across the world.
