Australia has been named the 3rd friendliest country in the world, beating the likes of New Zealand, the UK and Ireland, according to a new global survey.
Financial services provider Remitly surveyed more than 4,600 people from around the world on which countries they perceive as the friendliest. Australia ranks as the world’s 3rd friendliest nation, behind Canadians and Brazilians, who rank 1st and 2nd, respectively.
The research formed part of a wider study into politeness and everyday social interactions, where Australia was also identified as the world’s 11th most polite nation.
Japan ranks as the politest nation, with over 35 per cent of respondents saying so.
