Syrian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Sami Khiyami notified the UK Foreign Ministry that the term of his tenure as the Head of the Syrian Embassy in London has expired, the representative of the Foreign Ministry of the United Kingdom said today to ITAR-TASS news agency.

Damascus began withdrawal of their Ambassadors from EU countries to avoid possible expulsion of Syrian diplomatic representatives in response to the harsh action by Bashar al-Assad against the opposition.

Syrian diplomatic mission in UK will not be ended, and over time, according to procedures, a new Ambassador may be appointed.  It’s not reported when the Syrian Ambassador plans to leave the UK.
