INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FRIENDSHIP 2024.

The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly through resolution (A/RES/65/275) with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. The resolution places emphasis on involving young people, as future leaders, in community activities that include different cultures and promote international understanding and respect for diversity. To mark the International Day of Friendship the UN encourages governments, international organizations and civil society groups to hold events, activities and initiatives that contribute to the efforts of the international community towards promoting a 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. The theme for this year's lnternational Day of Friendship 2024 is: "Embracing Diversity, Fostering Unity", emphasising the connection and understanding between people from different backgrounds and fostering a spirit of unity and cooperation.
