Siria hacia Reino Unido
-30Under Bashar al-Assad, Syria expelled British diplomats in 2012 amid a severe diplomatic dispute. The change of government in 2024 makes the current Syrian authorities’ policy toward the United Kingdom less certain.
Reino Unido hacia Siria
-35The United Kingdom withdrew its embassy staff from Syria in 2012, imposed sanctions on the Syrian government and recognized the Syrian opposition coalition as a legitimate representative of the Syrian people. It also provided humanitarian assistance and participated in the campaign against ISIS in Syria.
Relación general
-30The relationship was defined by the United Kingdom’s opposition to the Assad government and the resulting diplomatic rupture and sanctions. Humanitarian aid and cooperation against ISIS provided important, but limited, areas of common purpose. The change of government in Syria in 2024 leaves the durability of this earlier pattern uncertain.

Contexto de la relación
Panorama general
Relations were sharply strained during Bashar al-Assad’s rule. Syria expelled British diplomats in 2012, while the United Kingdom withdrew its embassy staff, imposed sanctions and recognized the Syrian opposition coalition as a legitimate representative of the Syrian people. British humanitarian assistance and participation in the campaign against ISIS were areas of cooperation, but they did not remove the central political conflict. Syria’s change of government in 2024 makes the subsequent bilateral relationship less certain.
