Free trade concept stretched

In their latest move, the APEC conference organizers have expanded on the concept of free trade, which members continue to debating in order to suit their respective programs.

The organizers are giving out the luxuriously illustrated Green Indonesia, by journalist Ilsha Sharp and photographer Alain Compost, to delegates and journalists for free.

The book, published by Oxford University Press, is about Indonesia's tropical forests and normally retails for Rp 153,000 ($73) a piece at bookshops.

The committee is bringing more copies, he added.

It's free of course. (jsk)
