LIMA, June 28 (Xinhua) -- Peruvian President-elect Pedro Pablo Kuczynski said Tuesday that he will begin a "social revolution" to deal with inequality in various parts of the country.
Kuczynski, the leader of the Peruvians for Change party, attended a ceremony to receive his presidential credentials from the National Elections Board on Tuesday.
"We have succeeded in making a great change in the last 25 years but we still need ... the social revolution in Peru," Kuczynski said at the event, emphasizing the need to raise the level of social and economic development in other provinces beyond Lima, particularly for poor people living in the Andes or the Amazon.
