PRIME Minister Gordon Brown is holding talks with Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, with the fight against the Taliban high on the agenda.
Britain and its allies fighting in Afghanistan want co-operation from Islamabad in controlling the border regions between the two countries.
Mr Brown recently renewed his warning that three quarters of terrorist plots against Britain come from the area, where Pakistani security forces recently fought off Taliban incursions.
Mr Zardari will be at 10 Downing Street as part of a three-day trip to the UK, one of a number of visits to this country he has made since taking power last year.
When the pair last met, Mr Brown praised Pakistan's efforts and promised aid for those displaced by the fighting.
