Iran is my home: Lebanese PM

Tehran, Nov 29, IRNA - Visiting Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri held separate meetings with senior Iranian officials Sunday saying he felt Iran was his home.

'I feel I am visiting my home,' Hariri said in a meeting with Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Sunday evening.
