Africa-Press – Eswatini. His Majesty King Mswati III has encouraged Emaswati studying and working in the United States to harness the skills and knowledge they acquire abroad to improve the Kingdom of Eswatini.
Speaking during a meeting with about 40 Emaswati in the USA, the King highlighted key national projects such as the Strategic Oil Reserve and the Industrial Technology Park as areas where their expertise could be applied.
“Eswatini has major projects such as the Strategic Oil Reserve, which present opportunities for Emaswati abroad to contribute meaningfully to national development,” the King said. “The skills you are learning in the USA, one of the world’s most advanced economies, should be used to strengthen our nation. Bringing that work ethic home will make a great difference.”
His Majesty explained that the Strategic Oil Reserve would not only ensure energy security but also stimulate the birth of new industries. Businesses such as trucking companies and other suppliers, he said, would benefit from the continuous need to transport and provide resources for the facility.
“I would be happy to see Emaswati seizing opportunities to supply the Strategic Oil Reserve with products and services that will be required,” the King told the gathering.
The meeting gave the students and professionals an opportunity to introduce themselves, share their backgrounds, and explain their work and studies in the United States. Many expressed gratitude for the chance to meet Their Majesties and pledged to contribute towards Eswatini’s socio-economic advancement.
His Majesty is currently in the United States attending the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), where global leaders are convening to deliberate on pressing world issues.
The King’s message served as both encouragement and a call to action, reminding young Emaswati abroad that their education and exposure should be viewed not only as personal advancement but also as an investment in the nation’s future.
