President Michel Aoun’s adviser for Russian affairs, ex-MP Amal Abu Zeid, has held talks in Russia with Mikhail Bogdanov -- the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister and Presidential Special Envoy for the Middle East and Africa.
A statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry said the two men discussed the developments in the Middle East and focused on the situation in Lebanon.
“They especially discussed the importance of finishing as soon as possible the formation of a government in Lebanon led by PM-designate Najib Miqati in order to overcome the political, social and economic crisis,” the statement said.
The two men also discussed “means to boost Russian-Lebanese cooperation at the various levels, including the possibility of providing medicines and medical equipment from Russia to help treat the victims of the blast in the northern Lebanese region of Akkar.”
