On Thursday Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Lebanese counterpart Abdullah Bou Habib discussed a number of files, the most important of which are the repercussions of the Iranian-Saudi agreement on the region, as well as the current situation in Lebanon.

Yesterday, Amir-Abdollahian declared, upon his arrival at the Rafiq Hariri International Airport in Beirut, that Iran sees Lebanese security as an integral part of the region's and Iran's.

The Foreign Minister's words came during a press conference held at the Beirut airport after he was received by the Lebanese Foreign Minister and some MPs and diplomats from the Iranian embassy.

In a joint press conference with the Lebanese FM, Amir-Abdollahian encouraged all parties in Lebanon to communicate and accelerate the electoral process for the presidency.
