Rouhani, Zarif felicitate Aoun on election

TEHRAN, Oct. 31 (MNA) – Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif have separately congratulated Michel Naim Aoun on his election to Lebanese presidency.

Both congratulatory messages came to Aoun on Monday after Lebanese Parliament ultimately succeeded in election of the president, a position which had been empty for more than two years over a political deadlock.

Rouhani established a phone call To Mr. Aoun and spoke in person to Lebanese new president, where he hoped that Lebanese diverse tribal and ethnic elements would live a life of symbiosis and that the Resistance front would emerge victorious.

Mr. Zarif’s Twitter account was the mode preferred by him in communicating the message. “Congratulations to all Lebanese on election of President Aoun. Stability and progress assured when Lebanese themselves decide for Lebanon,” read the twit by Zarif.
