Peru's new president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski sworn in

Pedro Inauguration

A 77-year-old former investment banker has been sworn in as Peru's new president at a ceremony in Lima.

In his inaugural speech, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski - known as PPK - said he longed for Peru in five years "to be more modern, more just, more equal".
The conservative beat Keiko Fujimori in run-off elections last month.
Peru's economy has risen sharply in recent years fuelled by a commodities boom but many Peruvians live in poverty and lack basic services.

Who is Peru's new leader?

Mr Kuczynski has pledged to work for all Peruvians, calling for a "social revolution".
He will need support from Ms Fujimori's party to enact reforms, however, since it controls congress.

Ms Fujimori, the daughter of incarcerated ex-President Alberto Fujimori, was once favourite to win the vote but eventually lost by less than a quarter of a percentage point.
