The High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development is held on September 24 and 25, with heads of state and governments gathering at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to follow up and comprehensively review progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The UN annual Sustainable Development Goals Report noted that three-quarters of stunted children live in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. CGTN's Asia Today is joined by Amitendu Palit, a senior research fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies of the National University of Singapore. He elaborates on what measures Asian countries should further take to provide enough food for their people, especially young people.
