Iran Press/ Middle East: Hossein Amirabdollahian also met and talked with Abdul Amir Qabalan, former Speaker of the Lebanese Shia Supreme Assembly.
Iran's top diplomat also met with the Lebanese president, the prime minister, the foreign minister, and the speaker of the Lebanese parliament on Thursday.
Imam Musa al-Sadr was a highly revered Shia cleric of Iranian descent, who founded the Lebanese Amal (Hope) Movement in 1974. He came to Lebanon in 1959 to work for the rights of Shia Muslims in the port city of Tyre, located about 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Beirut.
The prominent Shia cleric disappeared on August 31, 1978, during an official visit to the Libyan capital Tripoli.
He was accompanied by Sheikh Mohammad Yaqoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine.
Lebanon still holds former Libyan officials responsible for the disappearance of the trio.
