Ecuador's youngest-ever president Daniel Noboa greets crowds outside palace

Ecuador's new president, the 35-year-old millionaire heir to a business empire, Daniel Noboa, greets crowds outside the Carondelet Palace after the swearing in ceremony in Quito.

"The task is hard and difficult and the days are few. Let's get to work," said Noboa after being sworn-in during a ceremony attended by Colombian President Gustavo Petro and other foreign representatives.

Noboa, who was elected in October vowing to restore peace to his country, takes over from Guillermo Lasso, who called snap elections to avoid possible impeachment.
