Taiwan president to visit sole remaining African ally, Eswatini
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen will visit Eswatini, the island's only diplomatic ally in Africa, next month to firm up ties, her office said Friday.
Tsai will head to Eswatini on September 5, and attend celebrations marking the African nation's independence day and King Mswati III's birthday during the visit, her spokeswoman Olivia Lin said.
She will hold a meeting with the king, visit a local hospital and Taiwan-sponsored projects before returning to Taipei on September 8.
Lin told reporters that the visit is aimed at strengthening cooperation and shows the importance Taiwan attaches to "staunch ally" Eswatini.
