"The company, "Aýdyň Gijeler Eswatini," will be responsible for implementing and supplying ID cards and biometric passports to citizens of the Kingdom of Eswatini,” the press release says.

The company also produces cable products with an annual capacity of up to 80 million meters and participates in international projects with foreign partners.
