On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Senator Jaziri Alkaf Abdillah Suffian is a prominent Malaysian politician and architect, having served as a member of the Dewan Negara (Senate) of Malaysia. Appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on December 21, 2020, he represents the Perikatan Nasional coalition in the upper house of Parliament. Senator Jaziri has played a key role in Sarawak’s political landscape, having been appointed as the Chairman of the State Leadership Body for Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (BERSATU) Sarawak in 2019 and later assuming the role of Chairman for Perikatan Nasional Sarawak in 2021. Before his leadership positions, he served as the Interim Secretary for BERSATU Sarawak, overseeing the party’s establishment in the state.
In this fireside chat, Senator Jaziri will share his insights on ASEAN’s role in navigating the intensifying US-China competition. As economic and security tensions between the two great powers shape the geopolitical landscape, ASEAN faces both challenges and opportunities in maintaining regional stability, economic resilience, and strategic autonomy. Drawing from his experience in Malaysian politics and governance, Senator Jaziri will discuss ASEAN’s strategies for engagement, the importance of regional unity, and the implications of great-power rivalry for Southeast Asia’s future.
