Following formal meetings in Jakarta with Indonesia's President Megawati Soekarnoputri, the reigning monarch of the small southern African Kingdom of Swaziland, King Mswati III, and his entourage visited Bali for a brief holiday.
The King, one of the many fans of Bali from around the world, is a return visitor with the mid March 2003 visit to Bali representing the King's second holiday on the popular resort island.
Throughout their stay the group was based at a leading hotel in Bali's Nusa Dua area.
During King Mswati III's visit to Jakarta, he lent his Country's support to Indonesia's bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nation's Security Council which, if successful, Indonesia would start to occupy in 2006.
King Mswati III assumed power in 1986 at the age of 18 and is absolute rule of his nation of some 1 million people.
