Here is the text of a recent speech given by Alan García to the Americas Society. Download file
This and other information can be gleaned from the July issue of News & Views, the newsletter of the Americas Society and the Council of the Americas.
The speech shows García trying to walk a line between emphasizing growth and retaining the stability achieved under the current economic model–indeed he aspires to achieving investment grade for Peru–while promoting equity and greater economic activity in rural areas. In terms of international relations, he emphasizes linkages with neighboring democracies in which the separation of powers is respected. That means countries like Chile, and is surely intended as a swipe at Venezuela.
