The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Mr. Qureshi had conveyed to British High Commissioner Adam Thomson "the sentiments of the government and the people of Pakistan" over Mr. Cameron's remarks.
"The foreign minister emphasized that terrorism was a global issue and had to be dealt with by all countries in a spirit of cooperation, rather than putting the entire onus on any one country," the statement said.
Over the weekend, demonstrators in Pakistan burned effigies of Mr. Cameron, after he criticized Pakistan of exporting terrorism to India, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Downing Street sought to play down Monday's meeting, saying it covered a "range of bilateral issues." A spokesman declined to comment on whether the Pakistanis raised Mr. Cameron's remarks.
The spokesman said that Mr. Cameron stands by the remarks, which he said haven't damaged the "strong broad and strategic relationship" between the two countries.
Still, many U.K. commentators believe the remarks are an early dint against Mr. Cameron's reputation for foreign affairs. The prime minister, three months into his premiership, has been accused of being heavy handed and of making a big mistake by accusing Pakistan while on a visit to its great rival, India.
Relations with Pakistan are important for the U.K., not least because Britain has around 10,000 troops in Afghanistan. A large percentage of terrorist threats to the U.K. originate in the border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Pakistanis are one of the largest immigrant communities in the U.K.
Pakistani opposition politicians have called on President Asif Ali Zardari to call off a visit to the U.K. which starts Tuesday. Pakistan's military intelligence chief, who was to visit the U.K. this week, canceled his trip Friday, but Mr. Zardari has decided to go ahead. He arrives Tuesday in the U.K. from France and is due to meet Mr. Cameron later in the week at Chequers, the British prime minister's official country residence.
The government considered canceling but decided not to because of the importance of long-term bilateral relations, a foreign ministry spokesman said.
Pakistan has come under enormous pressure since the release last month of U.S. military documents by WikiLeaks, an Internet site that publishes classified information. Those documents allegedly showed links between Pakistan's military spy agency and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Although U.S. and other officials have said many of the documents are likely unreliable, their publication has given ammunition to those that suspect Pakistan continues to aid the Taliban. Pakistan denies the links.
Pakistan has been fighting Pakistan Taliban militants in its tribal regions bordering Afghanistan for the past two years. But the U.S. and U.K. would like it to broaden the war to target Afghan Taliban militants that have been using Pakistan as a safe haven to attack North Atlantic Treaty Organization soldiers in Afghanistan.
Pakistan's critics fear some elements of the military continue to support the Taliban because it fears the rising influence of its rival India in Afghanistan and sees the militants as a counterweight.
