KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is eager to bolster its relationship with the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) by exchanging knowledge, ideas, and fostering cooperation that benefits both nations and the Muslim community. Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi received a formal visit from OCIS Director Dr Farhan Nizami and OCIS Fellow Datuk Dr Afifi Al-Akiti, highlighting the significance of their meeting.
During their discussions, they exchanged perspectives on matters affecting Muslims in the West and explored opportunities for collaboration between Malaysia and Oxford.
Zahid, who previously delivered a lecture at OCIS in November 2016, emphasized the enduring relevance of issues such as understanding Islam, inter-community relations, and the position of Muslims in the West. Despite the passage of nearly a decade, these topics continue to be pertinent for discussion, according to Zahid.
