PAKISTAN SUMMONS UK ENVOY OVER PM CAMERON`S REMARKS
Baku, August 2 (AZERTAC). Pakistan`s government has summoned Britain`s envoy in Islamabad following recent critical remarks by UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
He angered Pakistan when he suggested it was promoting the export of terror.
At the weekend, Pakistani intelligence cancelled a UK trip, and President Asif Ali Zardari has been under pressure to cancel a visit to Britain on Tuesday.
An effigy of Mr Cameron has been burned in Karachi but his spokeswoman said he "stands by his comments".
During his trip to Pakistan`s regional rival India last week, Mr Cameron said: "We should be very, very clear with Pakistan that we want to see a strong, stable and democratic Pakistan.
"We cannot tolerate in any sense the idea that this country is allowed to look both ways and is able, in any way, to promote the export of terror, whether to India or whether to Afghanistan or anywhere else in the world."
