Bagheri Kani made the remarks in a joint press conference with the Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Rashid Bou Habib in Beirut on Monday.
Iran has always consulted and cooperated with Lebanese authorities at different times and in various developments, the top Iranian diplomat said, adding that Iran's efforts for the progress of the Lebanese people have always been on the agenda.
He also thanked the Lebanese officials and people for sympathizing with Iran over the tragic passing away of the Iranian president and the country's foreign minister.
The stable relations between the two countries are a key indicator for the region, he said, adding that the Islamic resistance in Lebanon is the anchor of stability and peace in the region.
Bagheri Kani also referred to his meeting with Bou Habib earlier on Monday, saying that they have discussed issues related to Palestine and the need for taking collective measures by all states to stop the Israeli regime's crimes.
The Lebanese foreign minister, for his part, said that Tehran and Beirut share a common view about the dangers caused by the continuation of the Gaza war.
The continuation of the war in Gaza and the continuation of crimes against Palestinians undermines the chances of peace in the region, he stressed.
