PRESIDENT YUDHOYONO OBSERVES HIS 59th BIRTHDAY
Jakarta, Sept 9 (ANTARA) - Born in Pacitan district, East Java, on September 9, 1949, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono observed his 59th birthday on Tuesday.
According to the president's agenda on Tuesday, the head of state would celebrate his birthday with family members, presidential staffers, and the cabinet ministers at the State Palace in the evening.
