Harare - Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has congratulated United States President George W Bush on his re-election last week, saying he looked forward to enhanced co-operation between the two countries, a statement issued late on Friday said.

"On behalf of the government and people of Zimbabwe, and on my behalf, I convey to you our congratulations on your re-election as president of the United States of America," Mugabe said.

"Your re-election to this high and esteemed office is ample testimony to the trust reposed in you by the people of the United States of America," the statement issued to New ZIANA news agency said.

Mugabe has often been a staunch critic of the US, accusing it of working hand-in-hand with Zimbabwe's former colonial power Britain and supporting the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

"I look forward to working with you to enhance co-operation between Zimbabwe and the United States as well as helping to build a safer, more peaceful and more prosperous world in which the prosperity of small countries will also be the concern of the United States," Mugabe added.

Bush was re-elected on November 3 after his main challenger John Kerry conceded defeat in what was one of the tightest electoral contests in the US for decades.
