Syrian Embassy in Ramlet Baida, Lebanese Embassy in Abu Rummaneh
Syria on Thursday was said to have rented a temporary headquarters in Beirut”s seaside Ramlet al-Baida district to be used as its embassy in Lebanon.
The Lebanese embassy will reportedly be located in Abu Rummaneh in Damascus.
Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh expected an exchange of embassies and appointments to the diplomatic missions to be completed before the end of the year.
Salloukh had denied reports that Michel al-Khoury, Lebanon”s current ambassador to Cyprus, was chosen to become first ever ambassador to Syria.
"All that talk about the name of the candidate to the ambassadorial post to Damascus is baseless," Salloukh told the daily As Safir in remarks published Thursday.
