Cameron In Pakistan To Meet Newly-Elected PM

David Cameron will become the first world leader to meet Pakistan's newly-elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today.

The meeting with Mr Sharif follows talks with President Asif Ali Zardari yesterday.

Mr Sharif became Pakistan's Prime Minister for an unprecedented third time last month in a surprise landslide election victory for his party.

Mr Cameron's visit to Pakistan is being seen as an attempt to "relaunch" the UK's relationship with the country and open doors for British businesses.

A Number 10 source said: "The Prime Minister will be the first world leader to visit since Mr Sharif took office.

"The emphasis for us is relaunching the Pakistan relationship, getting in there early, helping work with them to shape the right reforms on security and development and also open up potential for British business given the growth in the Pakistan economy and potential there."

Speaking in Afghanistan yesterday Mr Cameron said he wanted to see a stronger relationship between Pakistan and its neighbour.

He said: "We have a good relationship with Pakistan, it's a long-standing relationship.

"We have a very clear view which is that it's in Pakistan's short, medium and long-term interest to have a secure, stable and prosperous Afghanistan with which they have a good and strong relationship."
