MBABANE:Nathie Dlamini, the Business Eswatini Chief Executive Officer(CEO) and other officials held a meeting with Taiwan textile investors to discuss a strategic partnership for job creation and economic growth.
In a statement sent to this Swaziland News on Wednesday, Business Eswatini said, the Taiwan Embassy was represented by Carlos Lin and Jeff Chen and the discussions were centred on accelerating textile and other investments into the Kingdom of Eswatini especially, pursuant to the Taiwanese investment Summit convened recently at the Mountain View Hotel, organized by the Ministry of Commerce.
“This meeting between the Embassy and BE perfectly aligns itself with His Majesty’s urgent call of Nkwe!-a rallying cry for swift and decisive action, especially on economic matters.New investment opportunities are beginning to emerge within the region as a result of a rapidly changing economic and global landscape. With the volatile geo-political changes taking place across the West and the rewriting of the global trade order which has seen new trade barriers such as tariffs and other protectionist measures coming into place, the region has become a fertile ground for investment opportunities,” the organization for businesspeople said through the statement.
Business Eswatini said, investors, especially Taiwanese textile manufacturers, are now actively seeking for alternative production hubs to mitigate geopolitical risks and diversify their geographical footprint.
”Eswatini has emerged as the preferred investment destination, prompting the Taiwanese Embassy to engage BE on how to fast-track these critical investments within the allocated time-reprieve of 3-months,” reads the statement in part.
