General TNI (Ret) Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was born in Pacitan on 9 
September 1949. Having graduated from the Military Academy in 1973, his 
military career and rank rose until he became a four-star general in 2000. In 
1991, he received his Master of Arts in Management from Webster University, the 
United States. He earned a Doctorate Degree in Agricultural Economics from 
Bogor Institute of Agriculture in 2004.

He retired early from the military service—five years ahead of his official 
retirement—when he was appointed as Minister of Mining and Energy. For his 
outstanding service, General (Ret) Dr. Yudhoyono was decorated with 24 medals 
and awards, including the UNPKF Medal, Bintang Dharma, Bintang Maha Putra 
Utama, and Bintang Republik Indonesia Adipurna, the highest national medal.

In the government, Dr. Yudhoyono held various important positions. He served as 
Minister of Mining and Energy (1999-2000), and Coordinating Minister for 
Political, Social, and Security Affairs in the National Unity Cabinet under 
President Abdurrahman Wahid (2000-2001). He again served as Coordinating 
Minister for Political and Security Affairs in the Gotong Royong Cabinet under 
President Megawati Soekarnoputri (2001-2004).

Upon his resignation from the Gotong Royong Cabinet, Dr. Yudhoyono decided to 
run in the Presidential elections. He and his running mate, Mr. Jusuf Kalla, 
won the first-ever direct Presidential Elections in the country. Dr. Yudhoyono 
is currently serving as the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

As an intellectual and prolific writer, General (Ret) Yudhoyono has authored a 
number of books and articles. Among his academic writings are: Revitalisasi 
Ekonomi Indonesia: Bisnis, Politik dan Good Governance (Revitalization of the 
Indonesian Economy: Business, Politics and Good Governance) published by 
Brighten Institute in 2002; Mengatasi Krisis-Menyelamatkan Reformasi (Coping 
with the Crisis – Securing the Reform), published by Puskap in 1999. As an 
eloquent speaker, Dr. Yudhoyono is also a keen poet. Taman Kehidupan (Garden of 
Life) is his anthology published in 2004.
