HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe said on Monday that power-sharing talks with the opposition were not making progress but that they would resume on Tuesday.

Asked if there had been progress, Mugabe told reporters after more than four hours of discussions: "Not at the present moment but we will continue tomorrow." Mugabe said sticking points "will be overcome".
