Abadi Meets Aoun: We Agreed to Support the Resistance, Syria Reforms Led by Assad
Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghazanfar Rokn-Abadi announced on Wednesday that he had agreed with Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun to support the resistance against the 'Zionist agendas in the region.”
He said after holding talks with the MP at Rabieh: “We also agreed to support Syria's people, government, and leadership.”
“We stand by the people's will to implement reform led by President Bashar Assad,” he added.
Addressing local developments, the ambassador stressed Iran's keenness on Lebanon's security and the people's support of the resistance.
“All sides are the victims of the Israeli agenda aimed at spreading strife throughout the world, especially in the Middle East,” Abadi remarked.
Informed by reporters after the meeting that his visit comes a day after Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awadh Asiri held talks with Aoun, he responded that his visit to the MP was scheduled a week ago.
Abadi and Aoun also discussed the recent presidential election in Iran.
Aoun was recently asked in a newspaper interview if he was seeking to reconsider his ties with Hizbullah, to which he replied: “Relations are reconsidered when they become very strained.”
