Cameron also said that it is not right for Pakistan to have any relationship with groups that are promoting terror, in comments seen as endorsing India's stand.
"We cannot tolerate in any sense the idea that this country(Pakistan) 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," he said.
Cameron, who began his maiden visit to India after assuming office, made these remarks while talking to newsmen and in his address at the IT major Infosys campus in the outskirts of the city during a trip to Bangalore. He is due to hold official talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi tomorrow.
Cameron said "It's unacceptable for anything to happen within Pakistan that's about supporting terrorism elsewhere.
And it's well documented that that has been the case in the past."
Cameron's remarks came against the backdrop of US documents leaked to Internet whistleblower site WikiLeaks accusing Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of secretly helping the Afghan insurgency while the country took billions of aid to fight terror.
He said there had been "big progress" by Pakistan in fighting militant groups "but we need to see that progress continue."
Cameron said he is going to discuss with Singh the "leakage" of funds given to Pakistan by the US and UK.
He also said that Britain like India wants a Pakistan that is stable, democratic and free from terror.
"We should be very, very clear with Pakistan that we want to see a strong, stable and democratic Pakistan," Cameron also spoke about the contours of a future UK-Pakistan relationship in the wake of the WikiLeaks expose.
"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," he said.
"Democratic states that want to be part of the developed world cannot do that. The message to Pakistan from the U.S. and the UK is very clear on that point," he added.
Cameron also pitched for closer security relationship between India and Britain saying the two countries must meet the challenge of ensuring global security.
He said Britain like India was determined that groups like the Taliban, the Haqqani network or Lakshar-e-Taiba should not be allowed to launch attacks on Indian and British citizens in India or in Britain.
"Our interests are your interests - so let's work together to realise them," he said.
He referred to the terror strikes five years ago in Britain in which 52 people were killed on the tube and on a bus in London and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, killing scores of Indians and three British nationals.
Stating that Britain worked with Indian government in investigations, he said "we remain determined that those responsible must be brought to justice."
"And I am here today to propose an even closer security relationship between India and Britain," he added.

Disappointment to Mr. Cameroon regarding the current statement. But when I saw my country situation it really hurt me. Target Killing, No Law in my country, Terrorism. However, I little bit confused why British, American and IMF give us the money to stop terrorism........... Still Confused so much confused....... These Western World are also responsible........ If they really need to stop terrorism kindly pay the money with the right hand....:)
Pakistan ISN'T the CAUSE of this problem so called "TERRORISM". It ISN'T our WAR nor our INVENTION let him remind it. We are still FIGHTING their war. West should support us, it's not their DEED, it's their DUTY to support us against this war. Who is PROVIDING INDIAN WEAPONS to these terrorists acroos the border, ISI or RAW ? India should see their interest being at a good relationship with Pakistan as west do.
Pakistan is a country who made possible for the US UK and the West to defeat the Soviets. Mr Cameron's statement indicates he forget the recent history. Moreover, If Pakistan denies to cooperate at this time, the extremists will tarnish not only Mr Cameron's country but the whole west also.
Cameron has HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD!!Pakistan is playing a DOUBLE GAME!!It is getting billions of dollars in military & financial aid while it is EXPORTING TERROR to Afghanistan/India via its Islamic militants! Pakistan claims that it is fighting the islamic militants INSIDE Pakistan-which is true,however,it seems Pakistan has DEGENERATED into a LAWLESS STATE which CANNOT CONTROL the militancy WITHIN its OWN BORDER!Also,its ISI's NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES have been LAID BARE,though Pakistan KEEPS ON DENYING ITS ISI is NOT INVOLVED!It is LEADING THE WHOLE WORLD UP THE GARDEN PATH!! JAI HIND!!
dear on line editor, The British Prime minister has done the right thing by advising Pakistan to refrain from indulging is encouraging islamic terrorism because he is in the know of pak double seaking and international deciving f people.If pakustan refrain from allowing terrirism then thast will vanish in no time The iSI Taliabn and Pak military is prganising this with the object of global islamic society in their plan but only few nation has under stood this diaboilical plan let India beware iof this while talking to palosyam dayted July 29th 2010 time 0425Hrs ist aM
The President of USA must stop to aid and replenish Pak by all means of cooperation, financial, military and even economically till such time pak stop their Terror export first. Moreover, Pak should be punnished against its violent of international law in case of NPT proliferation and terror. Sanction must be imposed on Pak. Why USA and UK have frightened or intimidated by Pak and their terror attacks. Such living in struggle, USA UK and the whole world by a small country like Pak, is a cowardice, it is better to die than living in such disgrace. Man can die only once not more.
I think it is good for India as well as Britain.India needs world's support to get rid of terrorism & Pakistan. India need support of such country to get seat in security council.
Immature and senseless comments by British PM as expected to gain commercial gains and bails out UK detoriating financial condition. Pakistan is suffering and suffered a lot in past because of their cooperation to Allied forces since Russian invasion in Afghan.The world knows the Afghan war cannot be won without Pak cooepration.As far exporting Terrorism is concerned now a days its a world phenomina. every country is suffering from this menace and only by having cooperation and active intelligence we can combat that. Its time that Pak, India and Allied forces work togeather to solve that problem which has put this Indo Pak sub continent at Stake.
India is facing the menace of cross-border terrorism from Pakistan. The focus should be India's own effort, and that of global supporters to stop this. Histories and politics of UK, Afghanistan, Pakistan, USA or Russia is not India's priority at this moment.
Though Cameron's comments were aimed at propping up the sagging bilateral ties between India and UK ,he should be complimented for this blunt statement.The recent leaks have certainly helped in this case. Its time that Obama realise that Pak is playing the double game.Its also time for our leaders to utilise this opportunity to put increased pressure on Pak to deliver. Let us Make hay while the sun shines
USA and UK are the most selfish nations. They would say only pious wordds for us. It has taken them 9 years to fight in a tiny country. Never ever they will be able to win a war with Pakistan playing duplicate role. They are bound to suffer many more casualities and also inflict casualities on civilians.India should now realise that there is no purpose to hold talks with Pakistan unless they eradicate the terror centres? That should be our uncompromising position. Let USA mind its own business
Its time we understand the western countries' interest. Its always for their National interest, which is of course normal. India has to look for her own interest first. The real diplomacy is to smile, be humble and do what is right foe the country. be strong, make India stronger, so that India does not have to depend on anybody and be under obligation. This is the time when the country is on recovery tide, spend more on defense and technology. To be really free one must be strong. Strong to strike whenever necessary, (defend) and follow strong independent policy based on self interest.
It is under the pretext of "trade" with India, did we have East India "company", and the rest - of occupying and looting India with by a set of extremely racist people - is all history. Is this "trade" proposal anoter form of the "East India Company"? I urge people to follow the real-life-based TV serial "Jhansi ki Rani" for some lessons.
It is a different world today. India exports manpower - manual to middle east and professional to the west. India also exports manufactured goods e.g. textiles, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. In return the West expects us to import some of their goods and services. As long as it is two-way traffic, I do not see any danger of re-colonisation. We did try 'self-reliance' until early 90's and failed miserably to make any real progress. Remember we had to mortgage our gold with Bank of England to get a loan?
It's for us to fight against terrorist together. Support Cameron to fight against terrorists. He is sending a strong signal to Pakistan. Did you see what happened in Kerala? Terrorists cut the hand of a professor. Do you want to see same thing happen in other parts of the country?
Europeans and Americans are very good in issuing statements against Pakistan while visiting India and are best in giving money and weapons to the same Pakistanis for buying peace. No nation will win war or peace if does things in confusion. Winning needs determination, courage and focus on goal. None of these qualities are available with the so called super powers. Pakistani Army never leaves foreign policy with civilian leaders and also never compromise on Kashmir and Afghan policy. Create, develop and export of terrorism is the only product available in Pakistan and world has to understand how Pakistan survive without them. The so called world powers are losing by pampering Pakistan and day dreaming the victory with the support of ISI and Terrorists which is impossible. The only option for the civic and developed countries is to form a solid front with all secular and democratic countries to wipe out Islamic terrorism and communist threat on the face of world. The present UNO and its bodies have become redundant and useless to fight against the enemies of mankind, peace and secularism.
I ask a simple question if Pakistan exporting terror than who is exporting terrorism in Pakistan?every one knows that Pakistan is facing worst terrorism,many thousand Pakistanis have been martyred but we are accused,is it justice? Mr prime minister.
Mr Bakhtiyar Those who nurture snakes in their backyards in the hope of these snakes biting neighbours do get bitten by those snakes. Pakistan is suffering for nurturing the terrorists on its own land to push them elsewhere.

Bakhtiar,Nobody is exporting terror to Pakistan. Pakistan is abundantly generating terror itself. The country is on path to self distruction.
Now that wikileaks has opened the pandora box the UK priminister has accepted what India has been telling the USA and Uk and other western nations for the past 60 years. however they have been helping and aiding the pakis to screw india. I hope India realise now what the western countires are really upto.
