David Cameron has held a meeting with the Afghan President Hamid Karzai, his first with a foreign leader since becoming UK prime minister.
Both leaders agreed they wanted to "further strengthen" relations between their countries.
The talks were held at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence.
President Karzai stopped over in the UK on his way back from Washington, where he discussed issues with US President Barack Obama.
Downing Street said President Karzai's stopover was "an opportunity for early discussions" following on from previous meetings when Mr Cameron was leader of the opposition.
Officials also said it was President Karzai who had requested the meeting with the new prime minister
