Larijani’s three-day trip will also take him to Lebanon, where he said he would focus on national unity, independence, trade relations, security developments, and broader regional dynamics.
“National unity in Lebanon must be preserved in all conditions. Lebanon’s independence is important to us and we will help to maintain it,” he said.
He described Lebanon as a significant and influential country in West Asia, highlighting its deep civilizational ties with Iran and ongoing cooperation on regional issues.
