The interlocutors emphasized the contribution of the Armenian community to the social and political life of Lebanon. It was noted that in the modern period the relations between the two states are also marked by mutually beneficial cooperation in bilateral and multilateral formats.

Issues of regional security and stability were also on the agenda of the meeting.
In the context of the security situation in the South Caucasus and the existing challenges, Minister Mirzoyan said the speculations of the religious factor by Azerbaijan, as well as the groundless attempts to disrupt the traditional warm relations between Armenia and the Armenian people and the Arab world are unacceptable.
