The Meeting of Kings: Watch highlights from Day 2 of King Mswati III’s visit to Asanteman

The much-anticipated encounter between two of Africa’s most revered kings, the ruler of Eswatini, King Mswati III, and the king of Asanteman, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, happened on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

Before meeting the Asantehene, King Mswati III addressed Ghana’s National House of Chiefs, praised the chiefs for their contribution to Ghana’s development, and called for greater collaboration with his kingdom.

After addressing the National House of Chiefs, the ruler of Eswatini and his entourage were treated to a tour of the Manhyia Palace Museum, where he was educated on the rich history of the Asante Kingdom.

From the museum, King Mswati was taken to the Manhyia Palace to finally meet the Asantehene.

A video shared by The Asante Nation on X on June 25, showed the moment these two kings of Africa met.

Mswati III, as he was ushered into a room to meet Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, could be seen beaming with smiles the moment he saw the Asantehene.

He walked straight to the Asantehene, and the two men, locking eyes in mutual respect, clasped their right hands in a firm handshake as they exchanged pleasantries.

One of the beautiful moments at the meeting was when the Asantehene introduced his paramount chiefs one by one to pay homage to the King of Eswatini.
