Both the leaders talked about counter-terrorism efforts, and especially what can be done to provide training for their military.
Pakistan's economic condition and the level of American assistance were also discussed.
The US also bluntly told Pakistan to rein in the terrorists groups operating from its soil. Bush has told Gilani that his government should ensure that the Pak-Afghan border should be secured 'as best as possible'.
Gilani asked the president for continued assistance, which Bush gladly agreed to. He promised to provide $115,5 million to Pakistan in food aid.
