Mbabane, April 19 (CNA) Taiwan and Swaziland are like “sworn brothers” who can always count on each other’s support, President Tsai Ing-wen said during her speech at a ceremony Thursday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the African kingdom’s independence and the 50th birthday of King Mswati III.

In her speech, Tsai called the diplomatic ties between the two countries, which are also a half century old this year, “unwavering.”

She talked about the challenges that Taiwan and Swaziland have seen each other through, saying that both sides have always made the right, long-lasting and best decisions for their respective peoples.

This diplomatic relationship has translated into multiple initiatives in education, medicine, infrastructure development and agriculture undertaken by Taiwan in Swaziland, with Tsai promising the Swazi people that Taiwan will do whatever it can to help improve living standards in the kingdom.    [FULL  STORY]
