MANKAYANE – On his special day, His Majesty King Mswati III thanked emaSwati for presenting him with the most precious gift of all peace.

Addressing hundreds who attended the King’s birthday celebration at Mankayane Town yesterday, His Majesty reiterated that every year he asked emaSwati for the gift of peace and they did not disappoint. “I would like to use this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for honouring me with this wish. As a result, the country has been able to refocus on its primary goal of improving people’s lives by making significant progress towards the sustainable development goals (SDGs),” His Majesty said.

Commemorate

The King said as the world geared up to commemorate the 2024 International Peace Day, Eswatini should emerge as a light for the globe.
This year’s theme, His Majesty said, is, ‘Actions for peace: Our commitment to the global goals’ something which he said encouraged the Kingdom of Eswatini to pursue the SDGs with passion and dedication, as they contain the key to addressing the issues that contribute to the world’s lack of peace.

Tensions

The King said considering all the world conflicts and tensions, emaSwati must continue to work together and serve as a beacon of hope for humanity by taking the initiative in fulfilling global peace. “When faced with different views, let us keep our essential values of tolerance, humility, dialogue and respect in all our efforts. “We, therefore, urge the global community and all of its agencies to make every effort to achieve our SDGs and resolve conflicts as quickly as possible in order to prevent future loss of human life,” His Majesty said.
