Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini has arrived in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, where he is representing His Majesty King Mswati III at the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties (COP15) to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
The international conference brings together leaders and environmental experts from around the world to discuss the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands—ecosystems critical for biodiversity, water purification, and climate regulation.
Eswatini’s participation in COP15 underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to environmental preservation and sustainable development in line with international treaties. The Prime Minister is expected to deliver a statement on behalf of His Majesty and engage in high-level discussions focused on wetland protection, climate resilience, and regional cooperation.
The Ramsar Convention, adopted in 1971, is the only global treaty focused specifically on wetlands. Eswatini is one of over 170 contracting parties dedicated to promoting wise use of these vital ecosystems.
PM Dlamini’s presence at the conference reaffirms Eswatini’s active role in regional and global environmental dialogue and its dedication to fulfilling international obligations under the Convention.
