While every day is a celebration of friendship, the special day to honour this lovely bond is knocking on our doors. 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 between communities. While July 30 is the date that was picked by the UN, in several countries, including India and Bangladesh, Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. This year, it will be celebrated on August 4. Here are some wishes, messages, and quotes that you can share with your besties on this special day.
