His scientific work applied geographic information systems to problems including disaster planning, crop forecasting, marine resources, and forest management. He later led Indonesian agencies responsible for technology assessment, marine exploration, and fisheries research.","His international work included coordinating a study of illegal fishing in the Arafura Sea and serving as executive secretary of the 2009 World Ocean Conference. In December 2012, he became director of the FAO division responsible for fisheries and aquaculture resource use and conservation. He subsequently served as Indonesia’s coordinating minister for maritime affairs in 2014–15 and as a transport minister’s special envoy to the International Civil Aviation Organization.","Appointed ambassador to the United States in August 2025, Soesilo arrived in Washington in September and received the mission from acting chief Nidya Kartikasari.

He encouraged Indonesian and Iowa researchers to develop joint funding proposals in science and technology."],"id":"indonesia:dwisuryo indroyono soesilo","identifiers":{},"legacyPersonIds":[],"legacyUrl":"https://chanceries.org/diplomat-4868c20f46fe812cfa05.html","name":"Dwisuryo Indroyono Soesilo","notes":[],"paragraphSources":[["indroyono-fao","indroyono-potomac"],["indroyono-fao","indroyono-potomac"],["indroyono-arrival"],["indroyono-iowa"]],"profileUrl":"diplomat-4868c20f46fe812cfa05.html","relatedEvents":[],"relatedPeople":[{"certainty":"documented","name":"Nidya Kartikasari","note":"Received mission duties from acting chief Nidya Kartikasari in September 2025.","profileUrl":"diplomat-5c87533cccc3c1fd2eff.html","sourceIds":["indroyono-arrival"],"targetId":"indonesia:nidya kartikasari","type":"succession"},{"certainty":"documented","name":"Soesilo Soedarman","note":"Indroyono Soesilo is the son of Soesilo Soedarman.","profileUrl":"diplomat-2649d6db2c024463ba3b.html","sourceIds":["soedarman-son"],"targetId":"indonesia:soesilo soedarman","type":"child"}],"relationships":[{"certainty":"documented","note":"Received mission duties from acting chief Nidya Kartikasari in September 2025.","sourceIds":["indroyono-arrival"],"targetId":"indonesia:nidya kartikasari","type":"succession"},{"certainty":"documented","note":"Indroyono Soesilo is the son of Soesilo Soedarman.","sourceIds":["soedarman-son"],"targetId":"indonesia:soesilo soedarman","type":"child"}],"researchStatus":"reviewed","reviewedOn":"2026-10-28","revision":"3ae528946ae117c5","sources":[{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"2012-12","id":"indroyono-fao","locator":"Printed page 50, PDF page 50","publisher":"Food and Agriculture Organization","title":"FAO Aquaculture Newsletter No. 50: Dr Indroyono Soesilo","type":"official-biography","url":"https://www.fao.org/4/i2919e/i2919e.pdf"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"2026-04-28","id":"indroyono-potomac","locator":"Speaker biography","publisher":"The Potomac Exchange","title":"HE Dwisuryo Indroyono Soesilo","type":"official-biography","url":"https://potomacexchange.org/events-lists/he-dwisuryo-indroyono-soesilo//?bio=yes"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"2025-09-19","id":"indroyono-arrival","locator":"Embassy release reported in full","publisher":"ANTARA","title":"New RI Ambassador to US aims to boost ties, safeguard citizens","type":"contemporary-report","url":"https://en.antaranews.com/amp/news/380981/new-ri-ambassador-to-us-aims-to-boost-ties-safeguard-citizens"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"2026-01-02","id":"indroyono-iowa","locator":"Katie Ron account of December 5, 2025 visit","publisher":"University of Iowa","title":"Indonesian ambassador returns to his roots during visit to the University of Iowa","type":"contemporary-report","url":"https://international.uiowa.edu/news/2026/01/indonesian-ambassador-returns-his-roots-during-visit-university-iowa"},{"accessedOn":"2026-10-28","date":"2025-08-25","id":"soedarman-son","locator":"Profil Indroyono","publisher":"AMINEF, reprinting CNBC Indonesia","title":"Profil Indroyono Soesilo, Dubes RI di AS Pilihan Prabowo","type":"contemporary-report","url":"https://www.aminef.or.id/profil-indroyono-soesilo-dubes-ri-di-as-pilihan-prabowo-2/"},{"accessedOn":"","date":"Undated; accessed 2026-10-23","id":"mission-78d157413df555e73547","locator":"Official embassy roster.
