Cameron said, “We should be very, very clear with Pakistan that we want to see a strong, stable, and democratic Pakistan.” “It should be a relationship based on a very clear message: that it is not right to have any relationship with groups that are promoting terror.”

Pakistan High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan said, “He seems to be more reliant on information based on intelligence leaks, despite it lacking credibility or corroborating proof.” He further added, “A bilateral visit aimed at attracting business could have been conducted without damaging the prospect of regional peace.”
