19 November 2006

Tony Blair has praised the "tremendous co-operation" of Pakistan in the "global struggle" against Islamic extremism.

Speaking in Islamabad following talks with President Pervez Musharraf, the Prime Minister said Pakistan has the "same strategic interests as we all do".

He described the talks as ‘immensely constructive’ and added that relations with Pakistan were at their highest point for many years.

Mr Blair underlined the global nature of the threat from terror:

"All of us are facing the same threat. All of us are facing a threat from extremism. To fail on this would be to be defeated and we mustn’t be defeated."
