As President Zardari and I agreed when he visited Chequers last August, we want to deepen and enhance the unbreakable partnership between Pakistan and Britain. The unbreakable partnership must not just be between our two governments. It must be between our peoples too.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cThe links between our countries go deep. So as Prime Minister in London, ensuring what is best for Britain means that I have a direct interest in seeing Pakistan succeed. <\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cI acknowledge that there are challenges that our friendship must overcome. But I want to argue today that they shouldn\u2019t hold us back anymore. Whether it\u2019s relations with India, our security, or questions of governance, if we work closely with one another, if we\u2019re clear that we need each other to succeed, we can grasp these difficult issues and move beyond them to a better future. <\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cSo let\u2019s make today a \u2018fresh start\u2019 in our relationship.
