"It is a truism to say that India lives in perhaps the most difficult neighbourhood in the world.
"Today, different terrorist groups operating from the safe havens in Pakistan, are becoming increasingly fused, the society in Pakistan has become increasingly radicalised, its economy has weakened, and the state structure in Pakistan has become fragile," he added.
He made the statement at the opening of talks with US Homeland Security Janet Napolitano in New Delhi on Friday, according to a copy of the speech posted on the home ministry website.
