Barely a few hours after His Majesty King Mswati III met Abu Dabi’s Minister of Home Affairs and International Cooperation to strengthen ties, Lizinyane Prince Sicalo also met India’s Minister of State in Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Tourism in Second Modi Ministry Ajay Bhatt.
This was at the 12th edition of the DefExpo2022 in India.
In his official Twitter page, Bhatt said he had an honour to interact with Prince Sicalo, the Principal Secretary in the Ministry of National Defence and Security of Eswatini, on the side-lines of DefExpo2022 in Gandhinagar.
