International Day of Friendship

Sharing the human spirit through friendship

Our world faces many challenges, crises and forces of

division – such as poverty, violence, and human right abuses

among many others – that destroy peace, security,

development and social harmony among the world’s

5 peoples.

To confront those crises and challenges, their base

causes must be addressed¹ by promoting and defending a

common spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms –

the simplest of which is friendship.

10 Through friendship – by accumulating bonds² of

camaraderie and developing strong connections of trust –

we can contribute to the fundamental changes that are

urgently needed to achieve durable stability, make a safety

net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better

15 world where all are united for the greater good.

Thus, the International Day of Friendship was

proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the

idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and

individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges

20 between communities.
