President Lai Ching-te broke through China's blockade and successfully arrived in Eswatini for a state visit on 2 May 2026 (local time). Eswatini's two major newspapers, the *Times of Eswatini* and the *Eswatini Observer*, both featured the news on their front pages today (Sunday, 3 May 2026), highlighting the importance the Eswatini government and people attach to the visit of the Taiwanese head of state.
The Times of Eswatini, Eswatini's oldest and largest-circulation newspaper, ran a lengthy report on the visit on the 3rd titled "Taiwan President Arrives in Eswatini," including a photo of President Lai shaking hands with King Mswati III of Eswatini, highlighting the high importance the Eswatini government and people placed on the Taiwanese head of state's visit.
The Eswatini Observer, established for over 40 years, has a relatively stable reporting style. It also ran a front-page report titled "TAIWAN PRESIDENT JETS IN." The article mentioned that the trip had previously encountered difficulties due to the revocation of the special plane's overflight permit, but ultimately proceeded smoothly.
In addition, the Eswatini Positive News, an online media outlet in Eswatini, also gave extensive coverage to President Lai's visit to Eswatini, with the headline "NO COUNTRY HAS A RIGHT TO BLOCK TAIWAN FROM THE WORLD," expressing its emphasis on and support for President Lai's visit.
