East Java province has many exotic beaches. One of them is Papuma Beach, which is located in Lojejer Village, Wuluhan District, about 45 km south of Jember City in East Java. Papuma Beach is also often referred to as Tanjung Papuma Beach because of its location that juts into the sea so it can be called a cape. Papuma Beach was officially opened in 1994, but in 1998, beach tourism in Jember was just starting to be visited by tourists.

The name Papuma itself is an abbreviation of ‘Pasir Putih Malikan’. Malikan is the name given by Perum Perhutani when opening this tourism spot. This beach provides a very beautiful view for tourists to enjoy from sunrise to sunset. If they want to enjoy the beauty of underwater, this beach also provides facilities for snorkeling. Papuma Beach also has a variety of terrestrial fauna, such as monitor lizards, partridge, deer, hedgehogs, pangolins and others.

The trip to the beach from Jember City takes about 1 hour by motor vehicle. Meanwhile, if visitors are from Surabaya City, it takes about 6 hours to get to this beach. The facilities on this beach are quite complete, from lodging to food stalls. In addition, several inns also provide Camping Ground facilities for visitors who want to sleep while enjoying the night atmosphere around this beach.

Voice of Indonesia presents Let’s Speak Indonesian, a program that introduces the Indonesian vocabulary and guides you to speak in the language. Mari Berbahasa Indonesia or Let’s Speak Indonesian is a joint initiative of Voice of Indonesia and the Language Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.  Today’s topic is still about Sakit which means Sick.

Here is the conversation entitled “Ada keluhan lain?” which means “Any other problem?”. This dialog is between Kevin and a doctor at a clinic. The doctor asks Kevin if he has another medical problem. Let’s read to the conversation.

Having listened to the conversation, now I am going to introduce some vocabulary and expressions related to the topic of the day.

In the dialog, you listen to a question, “Ada keluhan lain?” (2X) which means "Any other problem?". In the dialog, the doctor wants to know what Kevin feels besides fever and nausea. To ask another thing besides the aforementioned thing by the speaker, you may use some expressions such as ada and lain (2X) which means anything else? which are placed after an object. There is also a phrase ada lagi? which means anything else? For example, Ada keluhan lain? (2X) which means Any other problem?  

Let's read to the other questions to ask another thing besides things that have been mentioned by the speaker.

Jadi, Bapak demam dan mual ya? (2X) which means So you have fever and nausea?  
Ada keluhan lain? (2X) which means Any other problem?  
Tenggorokan saya juga sakit (2X) which means My throat hurts too

To accelerate Indonesia's economic recovery, the Indonesian Embassy in London has attracted British and European companies to invest in strategic projects throughout Indonesia. In collaboration with the Indonesia Investment Promotion Centre (IIPC) London, Bank Indonesia London Representative Office, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Trade, the Indonesian Embassy in London held a series of activities for the Indonesia Investment Forum (IIF) 2021. The activity, which took place on May 27 and 28, virtually brought together Indonesian government officials in the investment sector, project owners in some regions of Indonesia, and potential investors from the UK and Europe. The activities on the first day began with an interactive webinar entitled “Harnessing Momentum of Recovery towards Sustainable Growth.” The event featured Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Minister of Investment / Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Bahlil Lahadalia and Governor of Bank Indonesia, Perry Warjiyo.

The second day of the Forum 2021 was filled with One-on-One Business Matching between potential investors and project owners in the fields of waste management, transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing, water treatment and fisheries. As many as 38 multinational companies from England and Europe had direct meetings with project owners accompanied by the Indonesian Embassy in London, IIPC London, and BI London as well as the Indonesian Representatives where the investors came from. 38-Business matching of the Indonesia Investment Forum 2021 has provided opportunities for potential investors to obtain further information about project potentials, and open opportunities for cooperation and investment realization.

The Indonesian Ministry of Industry continues to actively encourage international access and cooperation development in the industrial sector. The goal is to spur the national economy through synergies with strategic partner countries, particularly in the framework of free trade agreements (FTA). Director General of Resilience, Territory and International Industrial Access at the Ministry of Industry, Eko S.A. Cahyanto said in Jakarta, Friday (28/5) that Indonesia's participation in the FTA had some influence on Indonesia's trade performance, particularly exports. As the backbone of Indonesia's exports, the contribution of the industrial sector has reached US $ 131.13 billion or 80.30 percent of total national exports. In 2020, the total national export exceeded US $ 163.30 billion. Indonesia also recorded a surplus of US $ 14.17 billion for trade performance in the industrial sector. According to Eko Cahyanto, this is the largest surplus in the Indonesian industrial sector in the last 10 years.

He added, the opportunity for market access in the FTA should be handled together and maximally utilized because the access to trade liberalization that has been obtained by Indonesia is very large. On average, Indonesia's FTA partners have liberalized the majority of their import duties for Indonesian products. More than 90 percent of the total tariff posts of partner countries are zero. This extraordinary market access must be utilized maximally in order to boost export performance.
Eko Cahyanto also explained that since 2002, Indonesia has signed 18 free trade agreements, namely eight within the framework of the ASEAN Economic Community, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. There are eight agreements in the bilateral framework, including with Japan, Pakistan, Chile, Australia, Mozambique and South Korea.

Indonesia is also exploring free trade negotiations with around 20 other partner countries, including the Southern African Customs Union, consisting of South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland.
