EduAsiaNews, Jakarta – Sixth president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has drawn attention at the 38th Indonesian National Meeting of International Relations Students (PNMHII), held at the Veterans National Development University of Jakarta (UPNVJ). The national forum, held from Nov. 13 to 17, 2026, brings together international relations students from universities across Indonesia to discuss geopolitical dynamics, changes in global governance and shifts of power in international relations. Yudhoyono’s presence is an important part of the coverage of the event, given his experience as a head of state involved in various international diplomatic agendas.
Themed “The Instability of World Order: The Dynamics of Global Governance and Shifting Hegemony amid the Rise of Middle Powers”, the 38th PNMHII addresses the instability of the world order, shifts in global power dominance and the growing influence of middle powers in international relations.
The forum, organized by the Indonesian International Relations Students Communication Forum (FKMHII), positions students as part of a young generation that needs to critically understand developments in international politics and be able to formulate ideas to face global challenges.

Yudhoyono’s presence is relevant to the theme of the 38th PNMHII, particularly given his experience leading Indonesia for two terms, from 2004 to 2014, when international relations were marked by various political, economic and security changes around the world.
During his presidency, Indonesia pursued a diplomacy that emphasized active engagement in international cooperation, both through bilateral relations and multilateral forums.
