The television channel quoted statements from Lebanese ambassador in Moscow Shawki Bonsar, revealing Bou Habib´s agenda in Russia.

One of those issues, Bonsar said, entails a debate on demarcation of maritime Lebanon-Israel border in defense of gas fields.

Bonsar added that attracting investment is part of issues to be debated, including the possibility of manufacturing Sputnik-V vaccine doses in Lebanon.
