President Lai Ching-te said Taiwan looked forward to working with ally Eswatini and other like-minded countries within the framework of the World Alliance for Disaster Management to enhance prevention, response and resilience.
Lai made the remarks while receiving a delegation led by Eswatini’s Deputy Prime Minister Thulisile Dladla Sept. 22 at the Presidential Office in Taipei City. Dladla attended the launch of the WADM Sept. 19 in the capital, the PO said.
The president first expressed his gratitude to King Mswati III and Queen Mother Ntfombi for welcoming him to Eswatini in May. He particularly thanked Dladla for personally accompanying him and his delegation to ensure a smooth journey.
Lai further stated that in the face of extreme climate and other challenges, it is vital to share experiences and integrate resources to forge a more robust disaster prevention and rescue mechanism.
In response, Dladla said the 58-year bond between Taiwan and Eswatini is akin to familial ties, and described ways that Taiwan has helped its ally, including through expanded cooperation in sectors spanning energy security, industrial development, innovation, investment, mining, technology transfers and skills development.
According to the PO, she also voiced appreciation for Taiwan’s long-standing support of Eswatini’s agriculture, education and medicine, with a particular mention of the electrification program in rural areas. (POC-E)
