Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe says he will form a new government soon, with or without the opposition.

State radio and the government-controlled Herald newspaper quote Mugabe as saying he will soon announce a new Cabinet that the opposition would be welcome to join.

But The Herald says opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai's party "does not want to come in, apparently."

Mugabe and Tsvangirai are deadlocked in power-sharing talks over how much control Mugabe should surrender.

State media said Mugabe made the announcement Tuesday after he officially opened the first parliament since disputed March elections, one dominated for the first time in Zimbabwe's history by opposition legislators.
