BEIRUT, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit expressed optimism Thursday that the future "will carry good things for Lebanon," according to a statement by Prime Minister Saad Hariri's office.
Aboul Gheit met with Hariri and according to the statement said that it was a very positive meeting "and I listened to his ideas and we agreed to meet at the headquarters of the Arab League when he visits Cairo."
On Monday, Aboul Gheit said that Lebanon would not be a battleground for clashes between Iran and Arab states, after meeting separately with President Michel Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri.
Arab League foreign ministers held a meeting earlier this week blasting Iran and Hezbollah, accusing them of destabilizing the region and vowing to take the matter to the UN Security Council.
