Syria’s embassies to remain operational - Foreign ministry

Syria’s foreign ministry and its embassies across the world will remain operational to serve Syrians, the foreign ministry said in its first statement since the fall of Damascus.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the Syrian Arab Republic and its diplomatic missions abroad will remain committed to serving all fellow citizens and managing their affairs,” it said on Sunday.

“Today, a new page is being written in the history of Syria inaugurating a national covenant and charter to unite Syrians and does not divide them,” the statement said.
