WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's finance minister met senior U.S. diplomats on Friday, but the State Department said this was no sign the United States is about to open up the flow of aid to the economically ruined country.

WorldFinance Minister Tendai Biti saw Under Secretary of State William Burns and Mary Jo Wills, acting deputy assistant secretary of state for African Affairs, as Washington weighs whether Zimbabwe's new unity government has implemented enough reforms for significant U.S. aid to kick in."This meeting does not signal any kind of change. There are a number of things we have to see yet," State Department spokesman Robert Wood told Reuters before the meeting."We want to see how the government is making progress on democratic reforms, economic reforms and then we will make a decision on whether we want to provide significant development assistance," he added.Wood said the U.S. government wanted to get a sense of the financial situation in Zimbabwe and steps the government is taking to reverse the free fall of the economy.

Biti was in Washington for meetings of the IMF and World Bank.Zimbabwe's economy is in ruins with hyperinflation and unemployment at around 90 percent. Millions are in need of food and the country's infrastructure and institutions in shambles.In a message to the Zimbabwean people last weekend, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commended the government for progress in implementing reforms, but said more must be done.U.S. officials say there are no immediate plans either to lift targeted U.S. sanctions or give major aid until there is firm evidence that President Robert Mugabe is serious about sharing power with opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai.The two formed a unity government in February following bitter post-election feuding and a clampdown by Mugabe's forces against the opposition.Mugabe has blamed his country's economic collapse on Western sanctions but the United States and others counter that the cause of financial decline was his own mismanagement.U.S.
