Hizbullah Delegation Visits Russian Ambassador, Praises Russia’s Role in Region
A Hizbullah delegation visited on Monday Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin in the Embassy headquarters, and delivered greetings on behalf of Hizbullah's leadership for the presidential victory of Vladimir Putin.
The Hizbullah delegation was led by Head of Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc member Mohammad Raad, and included MP Nawwar Saheli and Hizbullah International Relations Official Ammar Moussawi.
After the meeting, MP Raad indicated that "this visit is appropriate to praise the balanced political role played by Russia in this time period, especially regarding the crises storming across the region".
Moreover, Raad lauded Russia's role which "restores the principles of the UN, enables balance in the UN Security Council, and opens a window of hope for the nations so their just causes would achieve victory".
Regarding the common points discussed during talks between the Hizbullah and Russian officials on the Syrian file, MP Raad asserted, "Russia's stance stems from the root that achieving stability in Syria should be based on a political solution [that is gained] through dialogue between the regime and opposition".
In this context, Head of Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc noted that the idea of a "political solution in Syria" was cited by Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah since the beginning of the crisis".
"This does not exclude a conspiracy against Syria, and what we want is for the Syrian status to become stabilized to express the will of the Syrian people, whose majority supports the reforms sought by President Bashar al-Assad", MP Raad iterated.
Also, underscoring the latest US delegations visiting Lebanon, including that of Under Secretary of State for Terrorism Affairs and Financial Intelligence David Cohen, who is expected to arrive in Beirut on Tuesday, Raad asserted, "The US interference in the region's internal affairs is a norm which we have become accustomed to, and what's needed is that we be aware of these policies that interfere in our affairs".
Russian Ambassador: Russia's Approach Seeks Global Pluralism, Equilibrium
On his part, Russian Ambassador to Lebanon praised the Hizbullah delegation's visit, and confirmed that "Russia will continue on its independent approach on the international and regional level until it finds the political solutions for the regional and internal crises".
"The Russian approach seeks pluralism in the world and equilibrium on the global level", Zasypkin affirmed.
Regarding the relation with Hizbullah, Ambassador Zasypkin stated, "We seek communication with as much partners in the region as possible, including countries and political parties, therefore it is natural to communicate and hold talks with Hizbullah's leadership".
