UK 'stands' with Pakistan over fight against terrorism

The Prime Minister promised to "stand together" with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism following talks with his newly-elected counterpart Nawaz Sharif.

David Cameron also urged Pakistan to co-operate in creating a stable Afghanistan and pledged to go "further and faster" in boosting trade links between the two countries.

Speaking at the Pakistani Prime Minister's official residence, Mr Cameron said:

In this battle the friends of Pakistan are friends of Britain and the enemies of Pakistan are enemies of Britain.

We will stand together and conduct this fight against extremism and terrorism.

I profoundly believe that a stable, prosperous, peaceful and democratic Afghanistan is in Pakistan's interest, just as a stable, prosperous, peaceful and democratic Pakistan is in Afghanistan's interest.
