Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Reza Chibani said on Saturday that a five year cooperation protocol had been signed between Iran and Lebanon three and a half years ago. He said both countries could still benefit from the agreement in the remaining period, as it would allow for the strengthening of defense and military cooperation.
After meeting with Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh, he added that President Michel Suleiman‘s visit to Tehran on November 24 and 25 would be "historical and important." He added the visit would help strengthen and consolidate bilateral relations.
