India is the last leg of Holbrooke's 10-day fact-finding trip to the region. He has also visited Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The news service reported that Indian officials are likely to discuss with Holbrooke the threat of terrorism from Pakistan, following the attacks on Mumbai late last year.

India also is seeking to have the United States suspend military aid to Pakistan amid criticism that Islamabad is misusing aid funds.
