Lebanese President Hopeful about Rapid Implementation of Tehran-Beirut Agreements
TEHRAN (FNA)- Lebanese President Michel Suleiman expressed the hope that formation of the new government in his country would pave the ground for the implementation of the agreements signed earlier between Beirut and Tehran.
The issue was raised during Suleiman's meeting with Iran's Ambassador to Lebanon Qazanfar Roknabadi on Saturday.
Suleiman also lauded the positive and successful efforts made by the Iranian mission in Beirut to further strengthen the bases of unity and convergence among the Lebanese and also to consolidate the two countries' ties.
Roknabadi, for his part, pointed to the 26 agreements signed between the two countries last year, and underlined Tehran's readiness to put these agreements into effect.
Iranian and Lebanese officials have made serious efforts during the last two years to take a wide stride in consolidating and expanding the two countries' ties and cooperation.
In April, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a phone conversation with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stressed Tehran and Beirut's common views on different regional and international issues, and said the two nations' solidarity has defused enemies' plots.
"The deep solidarity between Iran and Lebanon has thwarted enemies' plots against the two nations," Ahmadinejad said at the time, noting, "The recent developments in the region and the attitude of the US and its allies towards these developments prove our view that they are merely seeking their own interests."
Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri visited Tehran at the head of high-ranking delegation late in November.
During his stay in Tehran, Hariri met with senior Iranian officials, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to discuss bilateral ties and cooperation and exchange views over a wide range of other issues of mutual interest.
The visit was the first official trip of Hariri to Iran as Lebanon's Prime Minister.
According to the officials of both sides, the visit aimed to promote Tehran-Beirut mutual cooperation in different fields.
The trip by the then Lebanese premier followed a two-day landmark visit to Beirut in October by Iran's President Ahmadinejad.
The two countries signed a cluster of economic agreements during President Ahmadinejad's visit.
