Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam in a meeting with Chairman of the Iranian Majlis's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi called for Tehran's continued support and assistance to the settlement of the crisis in his country over the election of a new president.

"We insist on the establishment of the best relations with Iran and hope that these relations will be established with all Lebanese groups," Salam said during the meeting as reported by the London-based al-Hayat newspaper on Sunday.

"As you supported the formation of a cabinet during the complicated conditions that existed before, we hope that you will also help the progress of affairs towards ending the political vacuum and election of a new president," he added.

Boroujerdi traveled to Beirut on Thursday to attend the commemoration ceremony of Hezbollah members who were martyred in the Israeli regime’s airstrike on Syria’s Golan Height on January 18.

Besides his meeting with the Lebanese prime minister, Boroujerdi held meetings with Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil and Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
