President Michel Aoun held a meeting at Baabda Palace with members of the Loyalty to the Resistance Parliamentary bloc headed by MP Mohammed Raad, the National News Agency said on Wednesday.

NNA said talks have focused on the most recent local and regional developments.

Raad conveyed Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s “utmost appreciation of the President’s recent stances at the UN General Assembly meeting,” in New York last week.

“The President has expressed stances that emanate from a national sense of sovereignty, which is equally felt by the Lebanese who seek a strong and free Lebanon, not a broken one,” Raad said.

"The positions of President Aoun touched the hearts of the Lebanese,” said Raad reiterating his bloc's relentless support for the President, “especially in all that preserves the steadfastness, strength, and sovereignty of Lebanon."

Later on Wednesday, LBCI TV reported that Nasrallah had held phone talks with Aoun to "applaud his latest stances, especially his speech at the U.N."
