Some people compare cutting down of trees as equal to gunning down a person. Taking into account people’s dependence on sound ecology, it makes one think of the dire consequences that could be fall upon people’s well-being in an environment where nature’s setting and all its natural floras are all in a mess. That is way a large portion of Eritrea’s youth have been engaging themselves in redressing the natural environment the way it used to be—a dense forest.

Building a strong relationship and creating a viable ground for mutual cooperation is what the NCEW has been committed for. Thus, creating a fertile ground between counterpart unions has been among the its major activities. The role workers play in the development of economic progress in any given nation is indeed a decisive factor towards creating a strong nation.

There is almost nothing left undiscussed. The deliberations made in such a seminar where people and the minister held talks face to face has clarified a number of  issues that were awaiting for a gratifying answer.
