Beirut, Nov 5, IRNA – A specialized Lebanese delegation comprising representatives of the public and private sectors arrived in Tehran to visit the 11th International Livestock, Poultry and Dairy Industries Exhibition featuring Iran's capabilities in the fields. Iran's commercial attaché in Lebanon, Abbas Abdelkhani told IRNA that the 9-man team's visit is aimed at getting acquainted with the latest achievements of Iran and helping promote commercial ties between the two countries' private sectors.
