"For fans of philately, there are special edition stamps. There are a number of designs; we made the Labuan Bajo series and the two event series," PT Pos Indonesia's Director of Courier and Logistics Business Siti Choiriana told ANTARA in Jakarta on Thursday.
She said the Labuan Bajo series consists of six designs, with four designs depicting the natural beauty of Labuan Bajo and East Nusa Tenggara, one design showcasing the typical fauna of East Nusa Tenggara, namely the Komodo dragon, and one design showing two dancers wearing traditional NTT clothing.
The ASEAN Summit series also consists of four designs, with two designs showing the natural beauty of NTT, one design depicting dragons, and one design showing dancers wearing NTT traditional clothing.
These special design stamps were made available at various PT Pos Indonesia booths at the ASEAN Summit venue, she said, adding that a higher price was not set for the stamps, and it was in accordance with the price of the postage stamps being traded.
"It is not expensive. The good thing is that there is a limited edition there, but the price is the same," she said.
Pos Indonesia also provided special offers to delegates attending the ASEAN Summit, such as shipping cost promos for shipments from Labuan Bajo to their destination countries.
"We give discounts for shipments abroad. We also provide administrative assistance. For shipments abroad, there are certain requirements. We can help," Choiriana said.
The offers were expected to make it easier for delegates to ship personal items and not hesitate to buy micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) products.
"We also hope that with the program we are making, they will buy as much merchandise as possible, not thinking about carrying more weight. So they can buy anything and help MSMEs, too," she said.
