Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani on Thursday raised the national flag above the Syrian Embassy in London, marking the reopening of the mission after years of closure.
Posting on X, al-Shaibani said: “After years of isolation imposed by Assad’s chemical regime, today we reopen the Syrian Embassy in London. Syria returns to the world under its free identity.”
Britain lifted sanctions on President Ahmad al-Sharaa last week, following a similar decision by the United Nations Security Council.
