Taiwan-Eswatini Relations
The US has lauded Taiwan-Eswatini relations, with the US Department of State calling Taiwan a 'trusted and capable' partner. Taiwan's President William Lai recently made a surprise visit to Eswatini, a southern African kingdom, after a planned trip was canceled due to Chinese pressure. The visit was made possible by an Eswatini government aircraft, and the US has expressed support for Taiwan's global relationships, including with Eswatini. The African Union Economic, Social and Cultural Council Presiding Officer Louis Cheick Sissoko has expressed concern over external interference in the sovereign airspace of the Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar. Sissoko has urged countries to reflect on respecting sovereign choices and has emphasized the importance of Africa being a fully sovereign actor. The visit has been condemned by China, which has accused President Lai of being 'like a rat scurrying across the street.' The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has thanked Sissoko for his expression of concern and has emphasized the importance of respecting sovereign choices.
