HARARE, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's opposition MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Tuesday there had been a positive development in power-sharing talks with President Robert Mugabe, and hoped to deal with outstanding issues on Wednesday.

"As you are aware these talks have been dragging on for some time now, but I must say that there is a positive development," he told reporters as he left the Harare hotel after hours of negotiation.

"Nothing has been concluded yet but we are hoping that tomorrow (Wednesday) we will be able to look at the outstanding issues." (Reporting by MacDonald Dzirutwe; editing by Sami Aboudi)
