British Prime minister David Cameron held a joint press conference with President Barack Obama at the White House Wednesday, addressing progress in Afghanistan according to the BBC.
Despite the heavy losses of Afghan, British and American lives, both leaders were resolute in their desires to see the mission completed, with Aghan forces taking complete control by 2014.
"Our alliance is not one of convenience but rather a matter of conviction," Cameron said according to C-SPAN. "We will not give up on this mission; it must not be a safe haven for terrorists."
The president and prime minister attended the opening day of March Madness Tuesday, witnessing two record-setters according to ESPN.
The BBC reports the leaders will have a state dinner Wednesday evening, as Cameron's visit this week continues.
