00:00Foreign Minister Lin Jialong is in Eswatini, Taiwan's sole African ally, to join celebrations,
00:06marking King M. Swati III's 58th birthday and his 40th year on the throne.
00:11President alleged that he had planned to attend but canceled his trip after China pressured some
00:16countries on the flight path to block his plane from their airspace. Li named the foreign minister
00:22his special envoy and sent him in his place. The foreign minister left with no prior announcement
00:28and transited through Europe, both moves designed to keep China from interfering in his trip, too.
00:34This year will mark 58 years since Taiwan and Eswatini set up diplomatic relations.
