Paraguay was the first country to observe World Friendship Day on July 30, 1958, as proposed by Dr. Ramon Artemio Bracho. It is said to have originated in the US in 1919. However, it was Joyce Hall, the Hallmark cards founder, who actively promoted this event in 1930. In 1998, Winnie-the-Pooh was designated as the Ambassador of Friendship by Nane Annan, the wife of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, in an event co-sponsored by the UN Department of Public Information and Disney Enterprises and hosted by Kathy Lee Gifford.
