Eswatini (fka Swaziland) is the only African country that officially recognizes Taiwan. But it's also a tiny little place fully surrounded by South Africa.

Eswatini is also an absolute monarchy which bans the formation of political parties, does not allow women to own property, and has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS infection of any country in the world. So, probably not a great place to hold a conference.

It's not though, is it? That's Lesotho, Eswatini borders Mozambique.
