台湾总统赖清德于周六抵达史瓦帝尼，这是台湾唯一的非洲外交盟友。此前计划访问因中国撤回飞越许可而取消，北京称此行是政治‘噱头’。赖清德表示此访旨在深化经济、农业、文化和教育合作。
赖清德在周六晚间通过Facebook发帖表示，他当天早些时候抵达史瓦帝尼。史瓦帝尼政府也在其Facebook页面确认了这一抵达。
“向我的同胞们问好。我今天早些时候抵达我们的外交盟友史瓦帝尼，”赖清德写道。他补充说，其外交和安全团队花费数日确保一条修订后的路线，使代表团能够抵达这个南部非洲王国。
赖清德称，此访旨在深化经济、农业、文化和教育等领域的合作，并加强双边关系以及台湾更广泛的国际伙伴关系。他还感谢史瓦帝尼在面对外交和经济压力时支持台湾。
北京方面称此次访问为政治‘噱头’。此前，赖清德的访问计划因中国撤回飞越许可而取消。
