The Embassy of Syria in Paris ( Arabic: سفارة الجمهورية العربية السورية في باريس; French: Ambassade de la République arabe syrienne à Paris) is the diplomatic mission of the Syrian Arab Republic to France. [2] It is located at 20 Rue Vaneau in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. [3]
History
The Syrian Embassy has been located at its current location since 1980; previously it was located in a villa at 22 Boulevard Suchet, [4] which now houses the Embassy of Monaco. This move, which had been planned for several years, was however precipitated by an attack on the embassy on January 29, 1980. [5]
Its Ambassador, also Permanent Delegate of Syria to UNESCO, is Lamia Chakkour. She was declared, along with two other officials from the embassy, to be a persona non grata on May 29, 2012, following a decision by the French Foreign Ministry, motivated by the Houla massacre. [6]
On November 17, 2012, the President of the Republic, François Hollande, announced that France would welcome in Paris an ambassador from the Syrian Opposition Coalition, the French-speaking diplomat Monzer Makhous. [7]
