RIYADH: º£½ÇÖ±²¥â€™s embassy in Damascus reopened on Monday with a ceremony to mark the occasion.

The celebration was attended by a number of Syrian government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, and a group of dignitaries and intellectuals, the embassy said.

Acting Charge d’Affaires Abdullah Al-Haris stated in a speech on Monday that “this day is an important moment in the history of relations†between the Kingdom and Syria.

Al-Haris added that the embassy and its staff were keen to exert all efforts to strengthen relations between the two countries.

º£½ÇÖ±²¥ shut its embassy in Syria and withdrew all its staff in March 2012, a year after the Syrian civil war started in 2011.
