President Michel Sleiman Visit to Iran - Updates.
President Michel Sleiman will visit Iran later this month, foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi told reporters on Monday.
"On Azar 4, Michel Sleiman is due to make a trip to Iran," Ghashghavi said, referring to November 24 on the Iranian calendar but without giving further details about the visit.
In Beirut, the presidency confirmed that the visit will take place on November 24 and 25.
Iran hailed Sleiman's election in May after supporting Qatari mediation to end Lebanon's long-running political crisis.
Suleiman, who received Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Reza Shibani at the Baabda Palace on Monday, said that his foreign visits were aimed at reasserting Lebanon's regional and international role.
