Lai says Taiwan's wishes to Eswatini's King 'unaffected' by trip cancellation

President Lai Ching-te says "Taiwan's sincere wishes" to Eswatini's King

Mswati III on his Ruby jubilee will not be affected, despite political

interference by China forcing him to cancel his planned visit to the African

diplomatic ally.


Taking to social media, Lai said he "regretted" to inform the public that he

had to suspend his trip on the advice of his national security team, but

Taiwan continues to cherish its friendship with Eswatini …


… and he will send special envoys to attend events marking the 40th

anniversary of the monarch's accession (登基) to the throne and the king's

58th birthday."


The Presidential Office is blaming "economic coercion" by China the

cancellation after the Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar rescinded (撤銷)

overflight permission for Lai's chartered plane.




General budget plan advances to committee review

The Cabinet's 2026 general budget proposal has been sent to committee review

after Premier Cho Jung-tai briefed lawmakers on its planning.


The budget had been stalled in the Legislature for more than six months,

prior to Cho briefing lawmakers on the compilation (編輯;編製) of the budget

and answering questions during a legislative hearing on Tuesday.


According to the premier, certain budget items have been deferred due to

concerns over parity among public servants and constitutional issues.


Deputy Legislative Speaker Johnny Chiang presided over the hearing - after

which he announced that the proposal would be sent to the Finance Committee

and distributed to other committees in accordance with a set schedule.

Spain Approves Plan to Tackle Housing Crisis

Spain's government has approved a major plan to tackle (處理) the country's

housing crisis.


Rising rental and housing costs have priced many Spaniards out of the market,

despite a recent economic boom.


The new plan, worth 7 billion euros, triples government investment in public

housing over the next four years.


It ensures subsidized housing cannot be reclassified after a few years.


It also includes help for young renters and home buyers.


About 40% of the money will grow the public housing supply, while 30% will go

toward property renovations.


The rest will focus on subsidies, especially for young people.
