King Mswati III of the Kingdom of Swaziland will arrive in Manila for a two-day state visit — the first by a Swazi King.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is scheduled to meet the King to discuss new areas of cooperation, particularly in the fields of trade and higher education, as well as initiatives in the international arena.
The state visit is expected to yield agreements on economic, scientific, technical and cultural cooperation, and lead to the establishment of a bilateral consultative mechanism between the Philippines and Swaziland.
Prior to his arrival in Manila, King Mswati will travel to Cebu and Bohol on a private visit. (PIA/Bohol)
