🇸🇿🇹🇼 Eswatini PM denounces "bullying" of Taiwan
Eswatini Prime Minister Cleopas Dlamini said in Taipei on Monday that his country remains committed to diplomatic relations with Taiwan and is opposed to "any sort of bullying or aggression" against Taiwan.
"The people of Taiwan should be governed within Taiwan by a government they elect themselves in fair and free elections, with no external pressure," Dlamini said during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen.
Dlamini also thanked the Taiwan government for its decades-long support of Eswatini.
Eswatini is the only African state and one of 14 countries worldwide that maintain diplomatic relations with Taiwan - which China regards as a breakaway province.
