Caretaker Minister of Culture, Judge Mohammad Wissam Al-Mortada, on Friday met with Iranian Minister of Culture and Guidance, Dr. Mohammad Mahdi Ismaili, during the former’s official visit to Tehran. 

The pair reportedly discussed the means to deal with “media terrorism and disinformation campaigns that aim to demolish and corrupt social values.”

The pair saw eye-to-eye on the pressing need for concerted efforts to curb the aforementioned attempts. 

Discussions further touched on “the means to strengthen cultural cooperation between the two countries for the benefit of the Lebanese and the Iranian peoples, especially since each of them has a very distinct heritage and cultural movement." Both men also agreed to hold a Lebanese cultural week in Iran soon and to partake in the implementation of cinematic works. The meeting had also been an occasion to hold a horizon tour on the political situation in each of the two countries.
