Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen will visit Swaziland, one of the island’s few diplomatic allies, next month.
China regards Taiwan as a rebel region, and insists that countries cannot have official relations with both China and Taiwan.
As a result, only 20 countries still recognise Taiwan – two of them in Africa: Swaziland and Burkina Faso.
This will be Ms Tsai’s first visit to Africa since becoming president in 2016.
It will mark the 50th anniversary of official diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Swaziland, which is ruled by sub-Saharan Africa’s only absolute monarch, King Mswati III.
