There are many celebrations in countries that encourage love or friendship, but they may not have an exact day set aside to celebrate just friendship. For instance, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries, but it focuses more on love with couples than it does with friends. Therefore, friendship days are not celebrated globally.
There are a large number of them that do celebrate Friendship Day in some capacity. These include India, Pakistan, Peru, Paraguay, Finland, Estonia, Bangladesh, Brazil, and Argentina. Although some of these countries may not even be aware that their country celebrates Friendship Day. For example, some people believe that Friendship Day is celebrated in the United States, but it is not a recognized holiday. So, many people do not get that day off of work in the U.S.
