How often do you appreciate your friends for always being there for you? Well, what better occasion to do this than on International Friendship Day, a day set aside just for celebrating the bond of friendship?
In 1998, Winnie the Pooh was named the world’s Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations. The United Nations also officially recognised July 30 as International Friendship Day in 2011, with the idea that friendship can inspire peace. Different countries celebrate friendship on different days, though. In India, it is usually the first Sunday of August.
