Jeremy Liang, the Taiwan Ambassador to Eswatini, was also present.<\/p>\n<p>His Majesty described the signing of the agreements 24 hours after the inauguration as not only a strong commitment to the relations between the two countries but also an alignment to Eswatini\u2019s \u2018Nkwe declaration\u2019 that requires a quick turnaround time on service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>President Ching-te was sworn-in on Monday. The following morning, the president and His Majesty witnessed the signing of three cooperation agreements between the two countries in areas of bilateral relations, central bank governance and business digitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a pleasure to see you (students) today as part of our travels to witness the inauguration of the new president and vice president of Taiwan. We were also here to strengthen relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was key to note was that after the swearing-in ceremony, without hesitation, the President adopted the Nkwe philosophy to sign agreements with Eswatini to enhance joint cooperation between the two countries just a day after his inauguration. This is a rare occurrence, and we commend him for his dedication. We have no doubt that these cooperation agreements will assist in addressing the issues you raised here today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The students also informed the king that Taiwan had provided them with excellent hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to learn that among you there are students while others are employed. You are also imparting knowledge about our culture, as I see many of you well dressed in traditional attire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also good to see you here in large numbers and even though others could not make it here, your presence is representative. Most importantly, we appreciate hearing that you are very happy with the good hospitality extended to you all,\u201d he commended.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the students to continue to be a shining example of emaSwati and their culture, wherever they go and in whatever they do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
