Africa-Press – Eswatini. Eswatini is strengthening its global investment appeal following a high-level engagement between Government and a delegation of potential investors from Japan who are in the country on a scoping mission.
Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini yesterday received representatives from Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Unicharm Corporation, two major Japanese companies exploring opportunities to establish operations in the Kingdom.
Toyota Tsusho Corporation is a diversified Japanese trading house operating across automotive, machinery, energy, chemicals and consumer products, while Unicharm Corporation is a global leader in personal care and hygiene products, specialising in baby care, feminine care and adult incontinence solutions. Their visit signals growing international confidence in Eswatini’s investment climate and industrial potential.
The visit follows a recommendation by Tolaram Group, a strategic partner of Kellogg, which has successfully operated in Eswatini for the past five years. Their positive experience in the country has helped position Eswatini as an attractive destination for further global investment.
Welcoming the delegation, the Prime Minister expressed strong optimism that the exploratory visit would lead to long-term partnerships and new industrial activity in the country. He assured the investors of Government’s full support throughout the investment journey, from the pre-investment stage to post-investment aftercare services.
The Prime Minister emphasised that Eswatini remains committed to creating a supportive, business-friendly environment that enables investors to grow while contributing to national development, job creation and skills transfer.
The delegation was led by the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Trade, Manqoba Khumalo, accompanied by Minister of Finance Neal Rijkenberg, Eswatini Investment Promotion Authority Chief Executive Officer Sibani Mngomezulu, and senior officials from EIPA and Kellogg Tolaram.
The visit marks another milestone in Eswatini’s efforts to deepen international partnerships and attract high-value manufacturing and consumer-goods investment, positioning the country as a competitive gateway for regional and global markets.
