He has held a visiting professorship at the MITI Institute in Japan, Australian National University in Canberra, and Gakushuin University in Tokyo. During the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, he spoke before the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) of the U.S. Congress along with the deputy prime ministers of Thailand and Korea.
Professor Azis has recently been active in several areas of international, notably Asian, financial issues. He frequently advises and consults in several countries in Asia. He has had intensive discussions with the Ministry of Finance of Thailand, policy advisers in Vietnam, and policy-makers in the Indonesian Central Bank.

He published two papers based on his research findings in the International Journal of Organizational Analysis and a joint publication with the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
While in Hanoi, he had a meeting with the rector of the National Economics University (NEU) and several faculty members to discuss possible cooperation with the Regional Science Program at Cornell.
In collaboration with Professor Thomas Saaty of the University of Pittsburgh, Professor Azis co-organized the IX International Symposium on Decision Making in Viña del Mar, Chile (2007). The Symposium was attended by more than 80 participants from all over the world and attracted top officials of the Chilean Navy. The Navy’s vice admiral opened the Symposium. Professor Azis presented a paper that demonstrated the use of the analytic network process (ANP) for the analysis of regional cooperation, and he received the best policy paper award during the Symposium.
Professor Azis gave a series of speeches discussion Asian financial cooperation at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), Mumbai. He was asked subsequently to give a seminar for the faculty and graduate students at the Institute on global imbalances.
While in India, he was invited to give two seminars at the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA). Professor Azis used the opportunity to introduce a quantitative method relevant for rural development research.
The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) invited Professor Azis to conduct research and to consult in Tokyo. In particular, he was asked to develop theoretical concept and empirical work on the link between financial-macro policy and social issues in Asian developing countries. During his stay in Japan, he met with many policy-makers from Asia. He and the ex-minister of finance of Thailand are jointly publishing a book on this subject.
