Taiwan could host about 1,000 workers from Eswatini each year, according to King Mswati III, who outlined the results of his recent visit to the island. The proposed programme would enable them to gain skills in different sectors, while Taiwan is also considering creating jobs and funding housing each year for vulnerable residents, the Times of Eswatini reported.

King Mswati III said Taiwan could offer about 1,000 jobs a year to people from Eswatini and fund the construction of housing for vulnerable people every year. He announced the commitments in a national address at the royal residence in Ludzidzini on Saturday evening, after his visit to Taiwan, the Times of Eswatini reports.

Discussions with Taiwanese leaders also covered education, industrialisation, energy security and agriculture. The planned job opportunities would be for workers from Eswatini, as part of the development partnership between the two countries.
