British Prime Minister David Cameron is to urge EU leaders to support a major new trade partnership between Europe and Pakistan in the wake of the worst floods.He will tell a summit in Brussels that the scale of the disaster warrants a response far beyond the vital immediate humanitarian effort.In a letter to the summit chairman Herman Van Rompuy ahead of the one-day meeting, the Prime Minister called for an ambitious new partnership between the EU and Pakistan on serious economic reform and trade, the benefits of which will be worth far more to Pakistan than even a sizeable aid package.Cameron wants to see a concrete political commitment from the EU to Pakistan to enhance significantly its access to the EU market in the short term.
