British PM arrives in Islamabad

The British Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived in Pakistan for talks. He is seeking a fresh start in relations with Islamabad, nine months after accusing it of turning a blind eye to terrorism. This is his first trip to Pakistan since taking office in May 2010. Prime Minister Cameron will meet President Asif Ali Zardari and also hold talks with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani during his visit. He is accompanied by a high-level delegation including the head of the Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, John Sawers, and the head of the British military, Chief of the Defence Staff David Richards. On his way to Pakistan, Cameron made a surprise visit to the base in Gioia del Colle, southern Italy on Monday, from where British jets enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya are operating.
