President Barack Obama has described talks with Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan and Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai as "extraordinarily productive".
The trilateral leaders' summit comes amid continued violence in the region, with the White House seeking a commitment from both governments to step up their efforts against the Taliban.
Speaking shortly after the meeting, Mr Obama pledged "lasting commitment" to the democratic government of both countries, adding: "The security of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United States are linked."
