CRI听力:Mugabe Sworn in for New Term of Presidency
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has been sworn in for a sixth term of presidency after winning the presidential run-off.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission announced the result on Sunday that Mugabe has won a landslide victory with more than 85 percent of votes.
In an address following his inauguration, 84-year old Mugabe promised talks with the main opposition party.
"Indeed it is my hope that sooner rather than later we shall as diverse political parties hold consultations towards such serious dialogue as will minimize our differences and enhance the area of unity and cooperation between us."

Tsvangirai withdrew from the election on last Sunday, citing various reasons, including political violence.
He also rejected the invitation to attend the inauguration ceremony.
