On his second day of Lebanon visit, Boroujerdi met with Prime Minister Tammam Salam at the Grand Serail.

Iran supports Lebanons unity and dialogue and we are ready for any measure that fortifies ties between the two countries, the top Iranian official said.

Later on Tuesday, Boroujerdi met with Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain al-Tineh. He stressed that the presidential vacancy is a Lebanese issue that Iran doesnt interfere in.

"Lebanon is small in its size but big in its regional role," he added.
