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.
