(CNN) -- Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari and the British Prime Minister David Cameron Friday pledged to increase cooperation between the two countries on economic development and security issues.
Meeting at Cameron's official country residence, Chequers, both leaders affirmed their commitment to further strengthen strategic ties, said Downing Street.
Both leaders appeared to be making an effort to smooth relations between the two countries after the diplomatic spat prompted by comments made by Cameron about Pakistan promoting the export of terror.
Zardari is also facing criticism for being away from home during devastating flooding in north-east Pakistan.
"It's a friendship that will never break no matter what happens," Zardari said. CNN
