Ann Snow has now departed the role as UK Special Representative to Syria. To continue following her journey: @AnnSnowUK
More information on her successor will follow in due course. Watch this space. 👁️
عدت إلى دمشق لإجراء محادثات مع @SyPresidency و @AsaadHShaibani حول الوضع الإقليمي والمرحلة الانتقالية في سوريا. تقف المملكة المتحدة إلى جانب الشعب السوري وستواصل ذلك.
The Asad regime lost its legitimacy due to its atrocities against the Syrian people. We therefore closed the British Embassy in Damascus in 2012. We have no plans to reopen it. End of story.
أنا هنا في باب الهوى، وهو طريق حيوي لدخول المساعدات المنقذة للحياة إلى شمال غرب سوريا والتي تصل إلى 4.1 مليون شخص في حاجة ماسة للمساعدات. مئات الشاحنات تعبر الحدود هنا كل أسبوع لتوصيل الإمدادات الأساسية مثل الغذاء والمعدات الطبية.
أتمنى عيد فطر سعيد ومبارك لكل من يحتفل وللمجتمعين مع الأصدقاء والعائلات والجيران بمناسبة نهاية شهر رمضان. عسى أن يحمل هذا العيد الأمل وبداية جديدة لجميع السوريين
عيد مبارك!
I met Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra @Sy_Defense in Damascus last week to exchange views on the Syrian army’s internal reform and restructuring and the evolving security situation including in the north east and Sweida.
What I take from this is a clear message that there will be accountability for all crimes, including those currently being perpetrated in the south.
All Syrians must be protected and all Syrians must be held accountable for their actions.
🇬🇧 welcomes the formation of the National Commissions for Transitional Justice and Missing Persons. An important step towards justice and reconciliation for the Syrian people. We continue to prioritise work in this area and stand ready to cooperate.

During my meeting with Minister Anas Khattab @syrianmoi we discussed the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to strengthen border security, fight illicit smuggling of arms and narcotics and maintain stability.
