Moscow, Nov 17 (IANS/AKI) Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil was due on Friday to hold talks with Sergei Lavrov and afterwards to hold a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart, Lebanese news agency Nna reported.
Bassil met Italy's Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano on Wednesday in Rome as part of a diplomatic tour of Europe's capitals for bilateral meetings on Lebanon's current political crisis.
