LIMA — US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Peru on Monday to push for greater access for women to capital and know-how to start their own businesses and become a motor for economic growth.

Clinton was to meet with Peruvian President Ollanta Humala late Monday for talks, followed by a dinner at the presidential palace in the capital Lima.

On Tuesday, the final day of her two-day trip, the top US diplomat was to address a conference on "Power: Women as the Drivers of Social Growth Inclusion," before touring the Gamarra textile district.
