On agriculture and food systems, Prime Minister Russell Dlamini said Africa holds significant potential to contribute to global food security due to its land, population and agricultural capacity.
He described the continent as one of the defining frontiers of opportunity, with the world’s youngest population and substantial mineral resources needed for future industries.
The Prime Minister categorised food security as a component of national security, alongside energy, water, health, cybersecurity and economic resilience. 
He said these areas are interconnected and require comprehensive and forward-looking partnerships to address.
The PM stated that unlocking agricultural potential will require increased investment, industrialisation, research collaboration and technology transfer.
He emphasised human capital development, including education, vocational training and skills development, as central to transforming African economies.
According to the Prime Minister, partnerships that support these areas are indispensable.
He pointed to cooperation with Taiwan as an example of collaboration that has produced results in agriculture and related sectors.
This reflects Eswatini’s broader focus on food security and agricultural modernisation. Government officials have previously identified agriculture as a priority sector for growth,
job creation and resilience against external shocks such as climate change and disruptions to global supply chains.
The Prime Minister also addressed the need for equitable representation of Africa in global institutions.
He reaffirmed Eswatini’s support for the African Common Position on United Nations Security Council reform, as set out in the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration.
He said inclusive global governance is necessary for a credible and effective multilateral system.
