Massawa, 28 December 2011 – The nation has imported modern machineries and public buses so as to give added impetus to the implementation of development program in 2012.

The machineries would be deployed in various programs, including the development of infrastructure facilities, construction of dams and bridges, in addition to promoting mining activities.

To this end, substantial investment has been made as regards the required machineries, he added.
