Amir-Abdollahian stressed that Iran is ready to build and rehabilitate electric power plants in Lebanon based on an agreement with the government.

Also, the Iranian minister stated that the Islamic Republic supports the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance to Israeli aggression, emphasizing that Tehran does not interfere in Lebanon's domestic affairs and welcomes the convergence and dialogue of all political currents.

He also expressed complete confidence that Lebanon's political parties have enough awareness and experience to find a way out of the presidential vacuum.

For his part, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdullah Bou Habib pointed out the serious attempts to benefit from Iranian aid to Lebanon, highlighting that "there are, of course, external obstacles and pressures."

Iran welcomes dialogue between Syria and Turkey

On a regional level, Amir-Abdollahian expressed his satisfaction with the dialogue between Syria and Turkey, believing that it could "reflect positively on the interests of the two countries."

He noted that at the recent Baghdad summit, Iran and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement on joint dialogue, which will eventually lead to the normalization of relations.

In a related development, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that plans are being developed for the Iranian President to visit Syria and Turkey in the near future.

Earlier, Amir-Abdollahian and Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Ayman Sosan discussed in a meeting in Tehran the latest developments in Syria and the region, and ways to develop bilateral ties between the two nations.

The Iranian FM stressed the importance of the outstanding relations between Iran and Syria and the necessity of maintaining economic cooperation and expanding it between the two countries in order to better establish stability, security, and peace in the region.
