Peru's President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski stressed the need for Latin America to overcome its social-political challenges. He has stressed the requirement of educational and technological revolution over the next 15 years.

The President made the remarks in a speech to the faculty and alumni at Princeton University. In the early 1960s, he has earned a master degree from the University. According to ALDIA NEWS, Kuczynski has lamented that Latin America had fallen behind from a technological and educational standpoint. The president has pointed that this happened because of the steadily aging population in the country.

The president said," if we haven't turned the page on this education and technological revolution in 15 years, we'll slowly stagnate". The 78-year-old head of state has warned about the real fact.

Kuczynski also lamented the lack of integration in Latin America on education. In his address speech at Alexander Hall, the president stated that the country is losing its ground on day to day. He blames the initiatives such as Pacific Alliance trade bloc, which includes Peru for the lack of education.

Agencia EFE has reported that the president speech came a day after he visited the White House with the president of the United States, Donald Trump. Both of the leaders are focussed on the situation in Peru and the challenges facing Latin America in general.

The president of the Peru Kuczynski has been the first Latin America leader to visit the U.S president Donald Trump at the White House. The 78-year-old head of state told Trump he prefers bridges to walls and favors the free movement of people across borders.

However, the president has previously likened Trump's wall proposal to the Berlin wall. He once joked that he would cut off ties with the US if Donald Trump were elect the president.
