05:28 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nPeruvian President-elect Ollanta Humala says he wants to strengthen ties with Peru’s South American neighbours and the US – a “strategic partner”.<\/p>\n
Mr Humala also said he would work to maintain Peru’s strong economic growth.<\/p>\n
Peru would follow its own model, he said, rejecting suggestions that he would be a copy of his former ally, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.<\/p>\n
The leftist former army officer defeated right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori in Sunday’s second round vote.<\/p>\n
His victory, by three percentage points, prompted an immediate fall on the Lima stock exchange but shares subsequently rallied.<\/p>\n
Peru’s economy “has been growing for more than eight years at a rate of 7% to 8%, which shows that in real terms the economy is solid and that the Monday (downturn) was market speculation”, Mr Humala told the French news agency AFP.<\/p>\n
In a series of interviews with foreign media, Mr Humala insisted he would work to protect Peru’s economic performance.<\/p>\n
“We think the path for Peru is its own road, without copying other countries. That needs to be very clear,” he told Reuters.<\/p>\n
Visits planned<\/span><\/p>\nDuring the election campaign, Mr Humala’s critics expressed fears he would embark on interventionist policies similar to those of Mr Chavez in Venezuela.<\/p>\n
Mr Humala has insisted he is more in sympathy with Brazil’s moderate left-wing approach.<\/p>\n
The president-elect, who will be inaugurated on 28 July, is due to embark on a tour of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile.<\/p>\n
He said he wanted to co-operate with other countries to tackle poverty, inequality and malnutrition in Latin America.<\/p>\n
“We want to work on Latin American integration beyond the ideological issues because we are all working for our own national interests,” said Mr Humala.<\/p>\n
Tackling drug-trafficking is a key task and for that Peru saw the US as a “strategic partner”, he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Humala campaigned on a pledge to increase the state’s role in the economy and redistribute wealth to Peru’s poor majority.<\/p>\n
This worried business leaders and investors, but on Tuesday he told Reuters there was room to discuss a proposed windfall profits tax on mining companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
