Thank you for accessing the Defence Section portal of the British Embassy, Damascus. The UK Defence vision envisages that our services should form a force for good in the world by providing a strategy that matches new threats and instabilities. To do this we must maintain flexible force structures and be able to reach out into the wider world.

Our chiefs will be leading a high-performing organisation and will be investing in its people. By so doing, we will be defending the United Kingdom and its interests, and strengthening international peace and stability.  Therefore, should anyone have any general questions regarding UK Defence structures, personalities, policy, equipment or operations, they are encouraged to access the "About Defence" section on the UK MOD homepage where all of these issues, and more, can be answered on: www.mod.uk 

For specific enquiries relating to Syria, this Embassy has a diplomatically accredited Defence Staff that is ready to assist with any Defence-associated matters. Please use us!  

Initial contact should be made on: defence.damascus@fco.gov.uk - stating the subject matter plus name and contact details(preferably email, but phone number accepted). We will respond as soon as possible. Any other enquiries, such as those of a Commercial or Consular nature, should be directed to the appropriate departments in the Embassy.
