Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung arrived in Eswatini on April 25 to attend the 40th anniversary of King Mswati III's coronation. The visit served as a strong response to China's recent move to block President Lai Ching-te's planned trip by pressuring African nations to revoke airspace transit permits. Lin emphasized that Taiwan will not yield to authoritarian pressure and reaffirmed the 'steadfast diplomacy' aimed at strengthening ties with Taiwan's only African ally through cooperation in healthcare and infrastructure.
