Peru’s new President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a veteran of Wall Street and the World Bank, began his first visit abroad as head of state to China this week as he looks to drum up investment in mining and infrastructure. It is a sign of the times -- his three predecessors had all headed to the White House on assuming office.
Kuczynski held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday in Beijing and will meet Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday, and also plans meetings with executives from the banking, mining and other industries in Beijing and Shanghai throughout the week.
