[ocpagu]

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on Wednesday congratulated her US counterpart Barack Obama on his re-election as she opened an international conference on the fight against corruption.

"I seize this opportunity to congratulate the people of the United States and President Obama" on his re-election, she told hundreds of representatives of governments, social movements, civil society and business from more than 130 countries.

Obama was returned to power Tuesday, defeating his Republican challenger Mitt Romney who formally conceded the race.

Brazil, Latin America's dominant power, maintains cordial relations with the United States, although the two countries do not see eye to eye on some international and trade issues.
