David Cameron is holding talks with political leaders in turbulent Pakistan.

The Tory leader is visiting the country after he spent time earlier with British troops in neighbouring Afghanistan.

Pakistan has endured a chaotic few years, with widespread criticism of former President Pervez Musharraf's suppression of opponents.

However, since Mr Musharraf finally quit last month the state - a key ally in the West's fight against terrorism - has become embroiled in a bitter power struggle.

Mr Cameron is meeting several of the key players, and will deliver a keynote speech during his visit.
