Mrs Swaraj told the Afghan First Lady during a dinner held in her honour that Afghanistan has a very special place in India.
"India is proud to be called Afghanistan's first strategic partner, and is committed to assisting Afghanistan in its quest to become an independent, peaceful and prosperous country. We see this as being vital for India's security and the security of the wider South Asian region," she said.
"...your leadership to empower women in Afghanistan is all the more remarkable, given the recent tragic history of your country that has caused so much suffering and loss, particularly to women and children," Mrs Swaraj said.
"Your courage and your leadership on the issue of empowering women in Afghanistan and looking after orphaned children is vitally important for your country, and greatly enhances its chances of overcoming its tragic past and becoming a prosperous, peaceful and independent nation."
"We know that on the way you have had to court controversy, and face unnecessary personal attacks. But you have nonetheless persevered for the sake of all Afghan women and children. You have shown courage and grace under fire which has always been the mark of great warrior...you are an inspiration to all of us and we thank you for that," Mrs Swaraj said in her speech on Tuesday night
