Eswatini diplomatic and ceremonial engagements

Overview

Eswatini has engaged in various diplomatic and ceremonial activities involving both international partners and regional neighbors.

In early September, Eswatini marked its 58th Independence Day. The occasion drew tributes from international leaders, including King Charles III of the United Kingdom, who emphasized the “friendship and close partnership” between the two nations and the importance of the Commonwealth. Additionally, leadership from the United Arab Emirates extended congratulations to King Mswati III and Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini, following a recent strengthening of UAE diplomatic representation in the Kingdom.

By October, King Mswati III participated in Lesotho’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. During the event, the monarchs of Eswatini and Lesotho highlighted their “deep historical and cultural ties,” with King Mswati III specifically noting Lesotho’s historical role in the anti-apartheid struggle and its involvement in founding the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
