Lin Chia-lung Witnesses MOI Signing for Investment in Eswatini, Strengthening Africa Layout

Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung, currently visiting Eswatini, shared on social media that he reviewed two major cooperation projects: the 'Strategic Oil Reserve Tank' and the 'Taiwan Industrial Innovation Park' (TIIP). He is promoting the 'Taiwan Model' for mutual prosperity, positioning Taiwan as a trusted global partner. On April 25, as the presidential special envoy, Lin attended celebrations for King Mswati III's 40th anniversary of accession and 58th birthday. He noted that the oil tanks and TIIP are currently the most important cooperation projects between the two nations. Following the signing of investment MOIs for TIIP by Taiwanese firms, Lin expects these projects to improve Eswatini's energy security and local economic growth. The strategic oil tanks, expected to provide a 60-day reserve, are progressing on schedule since construction began in January. Lin emphasized that during global supply chain shifts, Eswatini serves as a vital gateway for Taiwanese businesses into the African market.
