The Harmony World Puppet Carnival in Bangkok Thailand 2014 is one of the world’s  greatest and most spectacular  puppet carnivals in which 165 troupes from 80 countries from all over the world are selected to join and perform. The puppets, themselves act as goodwill ambassador of each participating country that bring about connectivity and exchange of arts and cultures among nation. This world puppet carnival, moreover, functions as a platform for puppeteers, puppet lovers, puppet families and also those from other related fields of production such as film and animation, to meet and illustrate the competency as well as diversity of art and culture. Together we can unite the world as well as harmony of arts and cultures among humanities and nations. The event will greatly contribute to national happiness and exchange of  knowledge among participating nations.

Upon this occasion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, the World Puppet Carnival Association and all those who have supported and made this event possible. I do hope that the Harmony World Puppet Carnival in Bangkok Thailand 2014 will be the moment of happiness that builds even closer relationship between nations and, the most importantly, an opportunity for countries to strengthen our cultural enrichment.
