Asmara — Eritrean community members residing in Utrecht city, Holland, voiced readiness to back up the national development drive and demonstrate staunch resistance against enemy conspiracies. They made the pledge at a meeting in which they expressed appreciation for the development accomplishments being registered in the Homeland.
