The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Syria was the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative to Syria, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Damascus.
In February 2012 all diplomatic staff were withdrawn from the British Embassy in Damascus and its services were suspended.[1] There is now no ambassador. The UK appoints a "Special Envoy to Syria"; the present incumbent is the head of the Near East Department at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London.[2]
Ambassador Peter Ford protested against the British supported regime change ('civil war') that started in 2011.
