Prime Minister	Cesar Villanueva	Donald Tusk
Prime Minister > Profile	<p>Peru is unusual among South American countries in having the post of prime minister. </p> <p>President Humala appointed Mr Villanueva as his fourth prime minister in a cabinet reshuffle in November 2013. </p> <p>Mr Villanueva is a widely praised regional politician who has twice been elected president of the northern Amazonian region of San Martin and is affiliated with centre-left parties. </p> <p>After being sworn in he said he supports the free-market economic policies that have been in place for years in Peru.</p>	<p>The governing coalition led by Mr Tusk won a decisive victory in the October 2011 parliamentary election, putting him on course to serve a second term as prime minister.</p><p>His campaign had stressed his reputation as a safe pair of hands and a competent manager of the Polish economy.</p> <p>It was the first time an incumbent government was returned to office for another term since the reintroduction of democracy in 1989. Analysts said the result was a sign of Poland&#039;s growing political stability after two decades of fractious politics.</p> <p>Mr Tusk became PM when he formed a coalition between his centre-right Civic Platform and the centrist Peasants Party after the parliamentary elections of October 2007.</p> <p>The early elections were forced by the collapse of the right-wing coalition led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the identical twin of the then president Lech Kaczynski.</p> <p>In his first term, Mr Tusk&#039;s government pursued a policy of close cooperation with the European Union. It also sought to use EU funds modernise Poland and privatise state enterprises.</p> <p>Mr Tusk advocates deeper EU integration and eventual euro membership for Poland.</p>
