Further, his Majesty expressed hope in further enhancing bilateral trade and investment ties and tourism sector for the benefit of both countries.
Swaziland is a small landlocked country surrounded by South Africa and the Mozambique. There is a small Sri Lankans community living and working in the Kingdom and few private companies from Sri Lanka have investments in Swaziland.
