He suggested that the country should bring 25 million out-of-school children into the education system. Iqbal argued that child malnutrition should be treated as a national emergency.
Vietnam’s export growth is an example of how other countries moved ahead, he said. Fake news and misleading narratives pose risks in an era of artificial intelligence, big data and social media, he warned.
