Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini says Eswatini is one of the most peaceful and stable countries in Africa, strategically placing itself in a strong position to welcome investors from the United States of America and beyond.
This was shared by the PM during a high‑level dialogue on “Strengthening US‑Africa Collaboration in the Agri‑food Sector” held on the margins of the US‑Africa Business Summit in Luanda, Angola. The summit was organised by the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) in collaboration with the Angolan government and aims to expand US‑Africa trade, investment and business relations.
The gathering brought together over 1 500 delegates, including African leaders, ministers, senior US and African government officials, as well as business leaders.

The PM spoke highly of Eswatini, pointing out that the country is nestled between the Republic of South Africa and Mozambique, providing natural access to the South African and Mozambican ports, which are crucial for exports.
Peaceful and Strategic Location
Dlamini stated that what would attract American investors to Eswatini was its peaceful aura, providing an environment where their investments can yield the expected results without disruption.
“Eswatini is part of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which means that we have access to 1.4 billion people. We also have the experience that American companies can tap into, especially in agro‑food processing. We export the largest amount of sugar to Europe, which means we can meet the highest standards required in the export market,” he said.
He added that he could recommend well‑thought‑out designs and project preparations, from start to finish, including all required costs and returns on investment, for those wishing to invest in the country.
The PM further stated that he believes Eswatini is ready for business, citing the government’s significant investment in infrastructure.
