Our mission
The UK has suspended all services of the British Embassy in Damascus and all diplomatic personnel have been withdrawn from Syria. From outside the country, the UK continues to support transition to a democratic and stable Syria. We have condemned the brutal violence of the Assad regime. We have recognised the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people and provide it with practical support. We are supporting diplomatic efforts that lead to an end to violence and process of genuine political transition, and investigations into the grave human rights situation. The UK is also providing over £1.1 billion in response to the humanitarian crisis inside Syria and neighbouring countries.
