Following the closest run presidential contest in Peru's history which saw Pedro Pablo Kuczynski of the Peruanos Por el Kambio party defeat Keiko Fujimori by 50,1%-49,9% - fewer than 40,000 votes, we are delighted to welcome British Ambassador to Peru, HE Anwar Choudhury, to give a briefing on the Peruvian political, economic and business milieu facing the new president.
