ISLAMABAD:
Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Tuesday stressed the need to reinvent democracy in line with the technological, information and demographic revolutions shaping the 21st century.
The minister expressed his views while addressing a seminar titled “Shaping Social Democracy – Since 1925,” in the federal capital.
The event was held to mark the centenary of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) and 35 years of partnership with Pakistan.
Iqbal proposed launching an “ideas lab” to study the ongoing crisis of democracy and adapt its model to meet the realities of the digital era.
