His Majesty King Mswati III has praised Taiwan for its contribution to improving the lives of emaSwati, citing cooperation in education, agriculture, healthcare and rural electrification as evidence of the longstanding relationship between the two countries.
The King was speaking at a state banquet hosted in his honour by Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, where he reflected on the practical benefits of bilateral cooperation and its impact on communities across Eswatini.
He said the value of the partnership could be measured through the opportunities it had created for ordinary citizens, particularly young people, farmers and families in rural areas.

“The true value of our relationship can be seen in the lives it has touched,” said His Majesty.

The King pointed to young emaSwati returning home with knowledge and skills to contribute to national development, farmers adopting improved agricultural techniques, patients accessing healthcare services and rural households gaining access to electricity.
He said these experiences had strengthened relations between the two nations through the work of Taiwanese professionals, technical experts, medical personnel and volunteers who collaborate with their Eswatini counterparts.
“These shared experiences have embedded the friendship between the two nations into the daily lives of their people, fostering enduring bonds between emaSwati and Taiwanese professionals, technical experts, medical personnel, and volunteers working side by side,” he said.
