The Embassy of Syria in Moscow (Arabic: سفارة الجمهورية العربية السورية في موسكو) is the diplomatic mission of the Syrian Arab Republic to the Russian Federation. The chancery is located at 4 Mansurovsky Lane (Russian: Мансуровский пер., 4) in the Khamovniki District of Moscow.
Diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Syria were established in July 1944. On 8 October 1980, Syria and the Soviet Union signed a Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation.
The treaty runs for twenty years and has automatic five-year extensions, unless one of the parties terminates the agreement. It provides for regular consultations on bilateral and multilateral issues of interest, coordination of responses in the event of a crisis, and military cooperation. The treaty remains in force to this day. In January 1992, the Syrian government recognized the Russian Federation as the legal successor to the Soviet Union.
On December 9, 2024, after the Syrian opposition overthrew the Assad regime, the Syrian embassy in Russia raised the new flag.
