Economics Minister Shen Jong-chin has announced the establishment of an economic cooperation committee with African ally eSwatini. The committee is being set up as part of a bilateral economic cooperation agreement that went into effect in December.
The trade minister of eSwatini Manqoba Khumalo is in Taipei for the committee’s establishment.
On Wednesday, Shen said the committee has been set up to enhance trade and manufacturing ties between the two countries. Shen said he has arranged for heads of two leading companies in Taiwan to meet with Khumalo to discuss further developments.
Shen said he hopes that as Africa’s economy grows, Taiwanese companies will come to use eSwatini as a base for entering African markets.
