Larijani in Beirut for memorial ceremony of Martyr Sayyed Nasrallah

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has emphasized the importance of regional cooperation amid recent developments in West Asia.

Upon arriving in Lebanon on Saturday, Larijani stressed the importance of regional cooperation in response to recent developments in West Asia.

He said that recent events have made it clear to many nations that the Israeli regime does not spare any country from its actions.

Larijani cited the recent Israeli attack against Qatar as an example, suggesting it demonstrated the need for countries to establish mechanisms for cooperation.

He also highlighted the longstanding friendship between Iran and Lebanon, terming the diplomatic relations as historically close and increasingly warm in recent years.

Larijani reiterated Iran’s support for a strong and independent government in Lebanon.

The official expressed hope that developments in Lebanon would benefit its people and prepare the ground for a stable and sovereign government.

Larijani is in Beirut to take part in the memorial ceremony marking the anniversary of the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyid Hashem Safieddine, former Secretaries-General of Hezbollah.

As part of his visit, the Iranian top security official will meet with senior Lebanese authorities to discuss bilateral relations between Tehran and Beirut, as well as exchange views on regional and international developments.
