After some negotiations, the government chose Yogyakarta as its new capital. Yogyakarta was considered safe since its sultan and its people were all loyal supporters of the young republic.

Soekarno, Hatta, and several other Indonesian officials went to Yogyakarta aboard a special train on 3 January 1946. They arrived in Yogyakarta on 4 January 1946 at 09.00am. Hamengkubuwono IX, then sultan of Yogyakarta, came to the station in person to welcome Soekarno and Hatta.

Two days later, Soekarno formally announced Yogyakarta as the new capital of Indonesia.
