President Barack Obama's re-election will mean opportunities for New Zealand, Prime Minister John Key says.
Key last week congratulated Obama on his win and later wrote a formal letter of congratulations.
The two men will meet again at the East Asia Summit in Cambodia later this month.
"I have enjoyed working with President Obama during his first term as President and welcome the opportunity to continue our strategic partnership over the coming years," Key said.
New Zealand's relationship with the United States was a close one, he said.
"With President Obama's re-election, there will be many opportunities to enhance the relationship."
