Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski will meet U.S. counterpart Barack Obama to discuss economic issues during his visit to Lima next month, Peru's Embassy in the United States confirmed.

The U.S. Commander-in-Chief will arrive in the Inca nation to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum's Leaders Summit taking place on November 17-19.

The said visit will probably be Mr. Obama's last presidential trip abroad, since his term in office comes to an end in January 2017.

As is known, President Kuczynski met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry during his New York visit last September. The event served to reinforce shared priorities on important regional and international issues.

Although the U.S. top official had hoped to visit some of the Inca nation's tourist attractions, his agenda will be strictly for business, the Embassy confirmed.
