President Tsai Ing-wen is set to visit Taiwan’s ally Swaziland from April 17 to April 21. That was the word from foreign minister Joseph Wu on Thursday.

This year is the 50th anniversary of official ties between Taiwan and Swaziland and also the 50th year of Swaziland’s independence. April 19 is also King of Swaziland Mswati III’s birthday.

During her trip, she will visit a hospital that Taiwanese medical personnel have aided as well as other projects that the two sides have cooperated in.  She will also meet with Taiwanese businesspersons based there.
