Peruvian President Pedro Castillo appointed his culture minister as the country's new prime minister on Friday, after her predecessor resigned over a row with parliament.

Betssy Chavez, a 33-year-old lawyer who has also served as labor minister, was sworn in as the fifth prime minister since the beleaguered Castillo took office 16 months ago.

The pair will reshuffle the cabinet after former prime minister Anibal Torres quit on Thursday, amid an ongoing clash between the leftist Castillo and the conservative-controlled parliament.
