【外交部嚴正譴責中國以政治與經濟手段施壓他國改變其主權決定，取消我國專機飛越許可，及駁斥貶損我國主權之謬論！】
賴清德總統原訂於4月22日應我非洲友邦史瓦帝尼王國國王恩史瓦帝三世（H.M. King Mswati III）邀請率團前往訪問，由於專機飛越許可遭塞席爾（Seychelles）、模里西斯（Mauritius）、馬達加斯加（Madagascar）三國無預警臨時撤回，致使行程未能順利成行。
外交部嚴正譴責中國將飛航情報區政治化、武器化，干預他國改變主權決定和影響國際民航正常運作；同時對於塞席爾及馬達加斯加扈從中國扭曲言論，挑戰國際慣例與飛航安全提出嚴正抗議；此外鄭重呼籲國際社會正視中國屢屢以政治及經濟脅迫他國，公然干涉他國內政，此種行徑不僅針對台灣，也嚴重影響與挑戰全球民主秩序與國際法治。
外交部再次重申，中華民國台灣是主權獨立的民主國家，與中華人民共和國互不隸屬，有權走向世界，任何國家都無法加以阻撓。任何意圖詆毀台灣主權地位的言論，都無法改變國際公認的台海客觀現狀。
外交部也衷心感謝史瓦帝尼王國與此次居中斡旋協助我國交涉的友盟及理念相近國家。台灣會持續以務實、穩健的方式拓展外交空間，堅定走向世界，也讓世界走進台灣。
MOFA strongly condemns PRC political & economic coercion enacted to pressurize other countries into changing their sovereign decisions, revoking overflight clearances & parroting PRC talking points!
President Lai Ching-te's planned state visit to our African ally, Eswatini, on an invitation from King Mswati III, had to be postponed after Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar revoked overflight clearances without warning just before departure.
MOFA condemns the PRC's politicization and weaponization of flight information regions to interfere in the sovereign decisions of other countries, seriously impacting the routine functioning of global civil aviation networks. We also protest Seychelles and Madagascar parroting PRC talking points that challenge international norms and flight safety. We call on the international community to recognize the political and economic coercion that the PRC enacts against other countries, as well as its flagrant interference in their internal politics. This behavior is not solely directed at Taiwan, but also poses a threat to the democratic world order and international law.
MOFA reiterates that the Republic of China (Taiwan) is a sovereign democratic nation, and neither side of the Taiwan Strait is subordinate to the other. We have a right to engage with the world, and no country should stand in our way. Any statements that attempt to undermine Taiwan's sovereignty have no bearing on the global consensus and the objective reality of the Taiwan Strait status quo.
MOFA offers sincere thanks to the Kingdom of Eswatini and other allies and like-minded countries that have attempted to mediate on our behalf. Taiwan will continue to adopt a pragmatic and steady approach in expanding our diplomatic space and engaging with the world.
