Moscow, (IINA) – Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri will arrive in Moscow on Wednesday for a two-day official visit in the latest of his regional and international trips aimed at shielding Lebanon from the repercussions of regional conflicts, officials said on Monday.
During his visit, Hariri is scheduled to hold talks with senior Russian leaders, including President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Lebanese Daily Star reported.
“The Moscow visit is part of Hariri’s flurry of regional and international activity aimed at protecting Lebanon from what is happening in the region, particularly the fire raging in neighboring Syria,” Future MP Atef Majdalani told The Daily Star.
“Hariri will also seek Moscow’s support, especially military assistance to the Lebanese Army, in order to help it fight terrorism.”
Two political aides, former MPs Bassem Sabaa, Ghattas Khoury and Nader Hariri, chief of Hariri’s staff, will accompany Hariri on his visit to Moscow.
The Moscow trip comes less than a month after Hariri ended a several-day visit to Washington during which he had talks with U.S. officials.
Also the former Lebanese PM Hariri had talks with French President Francois Hollande in Saudi Arabia last week. In the past few weeks, he had visited Qatar, Turkey and Egypt for talks on regional conflicts.
