Myslim si ze je to czenglish, presto se s touto vazbou setkavam, ovsem hlavne na ceskych webech prekladanych do anglictiny.
Ma to byt "We look forward to cooperate, predpokladam."

Dalšï možnost. 'Co-operate/cooperate' je sice czenglish, ale je neškodné :) Moc se to však v angličtině v takovém kontextu nepoužívá.
Slovo cooperate je v každodenné angličtině spíše používano ve souvislosti se zlobivým dítětem anebo žákem např. 'why won't you just co-operate and do as I say?'

Thanks! There are various combinations you could work with, but that one is OK too, but I find from personal experience that the more obsequious it gets, the less sincere it becomes :)

We look forward to cooperating
je to správne, "look forward to" sa viaže s gerundiom,
the word "to" in this idiom is a preposition followed by a noun/ noun phrase
the word "to" in this idiom is a preposition followed by a noun/ noun phrase

: Milada is quite right. Personally I always think "cooperating" is Czenglish. We would be more inclined to say "working with you". Cooperate is what you do when arrested by the STB
