Taiwan’s Lai May End Overseas Travel Drought With Trip to Africa’s Last Absolute Monarchy

Taiwan has received an invitation from Eswatini for President Lai Ching-te to attend celebrations marking King Mswati III’s birthday and coronation anniversary, a potential overseas trip that would be Lai’s first in more than a year.

“Our government has received an invitation from the government of Eswatini,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hsiao Kuang-wei said in a message. “If the President has any related plans, the Presidential Office will make an appropriate public announcement in due course.”
