President Vizcarra vows to form completely new Cabinet

14:45 | Lima, Mar. 23.

Peru's recently sworn-in President Martin Vizcarra on Friday announced he will form a completely new Ministerial Cabinet.

"Once the brand-new Cabinet is assembled, in a few days, the Prime Minister will provide details of the State policies we will promote," he said.

Speaking before Congress, Vizcarra outlined the guidelines of his incoming administration as President of the Republic.

Additionally, he vowed to take all the necessary steps to fight corruption and strengthen education across the country, as he did while serving as Moquegua Regional Governor (2011-2014).

Vizcarra was named President of Peru on Friday afternoon right after Parliament accepted Pedro Pablo Kuczynski's resignation from such post.
