External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar termed cross-border terrorism as a "menace" and said that India and Afghanistan must coordinate efforts to combat.
He also called Afghanistan as a "contiguous" neighbour to send a strong message to Pakistan over its illegal occupation in Jammu and Kashmir.
India and Afghanistan share a narrow 106-km land border through the Wakhan corridor.
"As a contiguous neighbour and a well-wisher of the Afghan people, India has a deep interest in your development and progress. Today, I reaffirm that our longstanding partnership that has seen so many Indian projects in Afghanistan stands renewed.
We can discuss the maintenance and repairs of finished projects as well as steps to complete others to which we have already committed. Beyond that, other development priorities of Afghanistan can be discussed by our teams," the Minister said.
"India has long extended support for the health security of Afghanistan, including during the Covid pandemic.
We are now ready to commit to six new projects, whose details can be announced after the conclusion of our talks.
A gift of 20 ambulances is another gesture of good will and I would like to handover 5 of them to you personally as a symbolic step. India will also provide MRI and CT scan machines to Afghan hospitals and deliver vaccines for immunization and cancer medicines.
We have also supplied drug rehabilitation materials through UNODC and are open to doing more," he said.
Dr Jaishankar said in his opening remarks during the meeting with Afghanistani counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi in Delhi.
: "As a first responder, Indian relief materials were delivered to the earthquake sites within hours of the disaster last month. We would like to contribute to the reconstruction of residences in the affected areas."
Afghan Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi arrived in India for a week-long visit - which had been previously unimaginable.
India's arch-rival Pakistan, which historically had close ties with the Taliban, will have reasons to keep a close watch.
It is the Taliban's highest-level visit to the country since seizing power in 2021, and Muttaqi is due to discuss diplomatic, trade and economic ties with Indian officials during an eight-day stay.
The visit is being seen as a ramping up of India's Afghan policy. On Friday, after Muttaqi met Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, Delhi said that it will reopen its embassy in Kabul which was shut four years ago when the Taliban returned to power.
Muttaqi - who was granted a temporary exemption from UN sanctions allowing him to travel - flew into Delhi from Russia, the only country so far to fully recognise the Taliban government.
"The astonishing fact is that neither Islamabad, Delhi or the Taliban could have anticipated that so soon after taking power, the Taliban's relations with Pakistan would deteriorate to such a degree, while India would establish a multilateral relationship with the new government in Kabul," says a report in BBC website.
New Delhi used to support the Western-backed Afghan government, which the Taliban drove from power, and this visit illustrates pragmatism and realpolitik on both sides, indicating they are serious about upgrading diplomatic, political and trade links.
Muttaqi, accompanied by Afghan trade and foreign ministry officials, held talks with India's Jaishankar in Delhi on Friday.
"Closer cooperation between us contributes to your national development as well as regional stability and resilience," Jaishankar said.
Meanwhile, Muttaqi called India a "close friend" and added that his visit would improve relations between the two countries.
The Afghan delegation will also meet representatives of the Indian business community.
This particular trip comes against a backdrop of worsening ties between both India and Pakistan, and Pakistan and the Taliban government.
"The deterioration in ties with Pakistan also allows them [Taliban] to hedge their bets and show how it is no longer dependent on Islamabad for its survival - carving out an identity separate from their over-dependence on Pakistan," Harsh V Pant and Shivam Shekhawat, of the Observer Research Foundation think tank, wrote in a piece for NDTV news channel.
