Sharm Al Shaikh: US President George W. Bush and Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on Sunday pledged to fight terrorism with strong relations between the two nations.
Bush stressed in the talks on Sunday the need to improve the economy of Pakistan, which is dealing with a serious food crisis, to help the fight against terrorism.
He suggested that Pakistan help neighbouring Afghanistan to grow more wheat rather than the poppy crops that help the Taliban keep its opium drug trade.
Gilani vowed to fight extremists in Pakistan, saying it is "the biggest threat to the world".
"It's against the humanity, it's against the world and I have lost my own great leader, Benazir Bhutto, because of terrorism," Gilani said.
Bhutto, the former prime minister and leader of the Pakistan
People's Party, was slain in a bomb attack in December.
