Shaking hands with Zardari after a formal meeting at picturesque Chequers country retreat, Cameron said, that they had discussed how to "deepen and enhance" their strategic partnership.
Pakistan and Britain today sought to bury a stormy diplomatic row between them as prime minister David Cameron met Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari, with the two declaring that the ties were "unbreakable".
Shaking hands with Zardari after a formal meeting at picturesque Chequers country retreat, Cameron said, that they had discussed how to "deepen and enhance" their strategic partnership.
Speaking after their hour-long meeting, both leaders sought to present a picture of cordiality even as Cameron said the talks included efforts to work with Pakistan to combat terrorism and keep people safe on the streets of Afghanistan and Britain.
But the two steered clear of any mention in public of Cameron's remarks in India that Pakistan should not be allowed to "promote export of terror whether to India, whether to Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world."
They read out televised statements, but refused to take any questions.
"We dealt with all the issues where we want to make progress," the British prime minister said as he offered more help to Pakistan to cope with devastating floods.
Zardari who had vowed to confront Cameron head on over his remarks of Pakistan exporting terror said, "This is a friendship that will never break, no matter what happens."
"Storms will come and storms will go and Pakistan and Britain will stand together and face all the difficulties with dignity...we will make sure the world is a better place for coming generations," the Pakistan president said.
Though details of the talks were not released, Downing Street sources were quoted by BBC as saying "both the sides were pleased with how the meeting had gone."
The two countries agreed to hold an annual summit between the two governments and Cameron was invited to visit Pakistan "and will go soon", Downing Street sources said.
Islamabad and London also agreed to set-up of regular national security talks between top officials from both countries.
Asked what was said about comments made by Cameron in
India, his aide told BBC, she could not go into that."
