Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung’s visit to the Kingdom of Eswatini expanded the existing robust two-way ties spanning 58 years, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
According to the MOFA, on the last day of his stay in the African ally April 26, Lin visited Manzini Government Hospital to inspect the Smart Healthcare Clinic operated by Taiwan’s medical mission, with technical support from Taiwan-based International Integrated Systems Inc. He was accompanied by Health Minister Mduduzi Matsebula.
Staffed with doctors from Taipei Medical University Hospital, the facility is equipped with technology that offers digital queuing, smart medication pickup and telemedicine. Lin said the milestone project paves the way for more bilateral digital, precision and smart cooperation. He also encouraged Eswatini medical professionals trained in Taiwan to further seed friendship between the two nations.
Matsebula and Dr. Candice Banda, a graduate from Taiwan’s I-Shou University, thanked Taiwan for the long-standing contributions to and support for their country’s public health and medical care.
Lin inspected the Aquaculture Research and Production Center launched in 2025 to help Eswatini transition from small-scale, household-based aquaculture to a more commercialized industry model. He also visited a demonstration orchard that has helped local farmers grow more profitable crops such as guava, dragon fruit and strawberries.
Lin emphasized that these two cooperative projects aim to upgrade the ally’s industries and ensure their sustainable development. The government will continue to help Eswatini develop leadership and demonstrate how Taiwan can help and Eswatini can lead, he added. (SFC-E)
