Eswatini’s King Mswati III has thanked Taiwan for donating two military helicopters to the African kingdom. During a visit to Taiwan for National Day celebrations, Mswati expressed his gratitude while touring an aviation training center with President Lai Ching-te. Taiwan donated the retired Huey helicopters in 2020 and has also provided training for Eswatini’s pilots and maintenance crews. Eswatini is Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in Africa.
