BEIRUT: Visiting Iranian official Alaeddin Boroujerdi Friday underlined the need for stronger ties among Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries to boost regional stability.
“The more fraternal relations among countries in the region are reinforced the more stability takes root,” Boroujerdi told reporters following talks with Prime Minister Tammam Salam at the Grand Serail in Downtown Beirut.
He said Iran's policy aims to build good ties with regional countries, including Saudi Arabia.
Boroujerdi, the chairman of the Iranian parliamentary committee for national security and foreign policy, believed that political developments in the region help bolster Lebanon’s stability.
Boroujerdi arrived in Lebanon Thursday to attend a Hezbollah ceremony later Friday in honor of six fighters killed in a Jan. 18 Israeli strike in Qunaitra in Syria’s Golan Heights.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah will give a speech at the 3 p.m. ceremony outlining his views on the Qunaitra attack and the Israeli shelling of south Lebanon in response to a Hezbollah revenge ambush in the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms.
