Cameron and Zardari holding talks at Chequers.
Prime Minister David Cameron and President Zardari of Pakistan are trying to patch up their differences in formal talks at Chequers.They will try to smooth tensions after the PM's recent comments that elements in Pakistan promoted terrorism.
On Thursday night, Mr Zardari was Mr Cameron's guest at a private dinner at the country residence.
Topics for discussion will include counter-terrorism co-operation, the Nato campaign in Afghanistan and trade.
The prime minister caused anger in Pakistan last week when, during a trip to India, he said elements in Pakistan should not be allowed to "promote the export of terror whether to India, whether to Afghanistan or to anywhere else in the world".
Mr Cameron continues to stand by his comments but Mr Zardari said he would personally challenge him over the remarks during his visit.
On Tuesday, Mr Zardari told French newspaper Le Monde the battle for the hearts and minds of ordinary Afghan people had already been lost.
He is also under intense pressure to show he can talk tough to the British prime minister and justify his absence from his country, at a time when devastating floods have caused a national tragedy.
