Humala sworn in as Peru's president

Leftist former army officer Ollanta Humala was sworn in Thursday as president of Peru, aiming to confront the high poverty plaguing his Andean nation despite its solid economic growth.
The new government would have "a market economy open to the world, with an emphasis on social integration," Humala said.
Humala became Peru's first leftist president in almost four decades in a ceremony in Congress attended by a dozen Latin American heads of state.
