Germany on Tuesday agreed to provide 10 million DM (US $4.5 million) to the Eritrean government, the government-owned Eritrean radio Voice of the Masses reported on Tuesday. The money would be used to fund a potable water project in the port city of Massawa, said the radio. The agreement was signed in Asmara for the German side by the Secretary in Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, Dr Ushi Eid, while Dr Woldai Fitur, the head of the International Cooperation and Economic Coordination Department signed for the Eritrean government. Ushi Eid said that the ongoing constitutional process -the drafting of electoral laws, and the establishment of pluralism in the country - “was of decisive and great concern”, and she would do everything possible to ensure it succeeded, the radio said.
