MBABANE-The Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu has expressed his gratitude to the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini for voicing support for Taiwan at International Forums.
The Minister shared his appreciation, making particular reference to Eswatini Prime Minister His Excellency Cleopas Dlamini’s comments at the UN General Assembly in 2021 and at #COP27.
The country’s PM is currently in The Republic of China (Taiwan) and Minister Joseph Wu treated the visiting Eswatini Prime Minister and his delegation to dinner to welcome him on his first visit to the country.
In his address, Minister Wu said the timing of the Prime Minister’s visit was very significant.
“This year marks not only the 55th anniversary of Eswatini’s Independence as well as King Mswati III’s 55th birthday, but also 55 years since Taiwan and Eswatini established diplomatic relations,” said Wu.
He also stated that the two allies have engaged in long-term cooperation in terms of trade, public health, agriculture, education and ICT, benefitting the people of both countries.
The Prime Minister stated that Taiwan is an important partner for Eswatini, which has been a constant friend to Eswatini from which it has learned a lot, amid an ever-changing geopolitical landscape.
