Hezbollah Delegation Holds Talks with Russian FM
The delegation, led by Mohammad Raad, the head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc – the political wing of Hezbollah – arrived in Moscow on Sunday on the invitation of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
During the meeting with Lavrov today, the developments in Lebanon and the region were discussed, al-Ahed News reported.
Raad said in a press conference after the meeting that it was a friendly gathering.
The formation of the cabinet in Lebanon was among the topics discussed by the two sides, he added.
The visit will also include meetings at the Federation Council, the upper house of the parliament, and the State Duma, the lower house.
Raad told Sputnik earlier that that the relationship between Hezbollah and Moscow is built on “common interests and a single or very close view regarding the situation in the region and the need for its stability”.
Both Russia and Hezbollah back the Syrian government in its fight against foreign-backed Takfiri militants, who have been wreaking havoc in the country since March 2011.
