Notes
[edit]- ^ In March 1976, it was announced that Canada had removed all Embassy staff and the Chargé d’Affaires a.i. from its Embassy in Beirut, because of the dangerous conditions in Lebanon. Diplomatic relations continued between Lebanon and Canada, and were handled through the Embassy and staff in Amman, Jordan, which was also representing Canadian interests with regard to both Jordan and Syria. Mr. Singleton was resident in Jordan from 4 September 1976 to 3 August 1977. In August 1977, the Embassy in Beirut reopened, initially under the direction of a Chargé d’Affaires a.i. In October 1977, Mr. Couvrette took charge as Ambassador.[1]
- ^ Effective 16 September 1984, the post of accreditation for Syria was changed from Lebanon to Jordan. This followed the restructuring of the Embassies in Lebanon and Jordan which resulted in an increase in manpower at the Embassy in Jordan. As Ambassador to Jordan, Keith William MacLellan was concurrently accredited as Ambassador to Syria, resident in Jordan.[1]
- ^ Jacques Noiseux became the first resident Canadian Ambassador to Syria, when a Canadian Embassy was established in Damascus in 1985. On 24 October 1986 it was announced that the Canadian Ambassador to Syria had been recalled, following the action of the British, in order to show the government’s disapproval of Syria’s alleged terrorist activities. On 17 February 1987, it was announced that Canada’s Ambassador to Syria would be returning to continue representation to that country.[1]
- ^ Canada closed its Embassy and Counsulate in Syria and severed diplomatic ties in 2012 with the onset of the Syrian Civil War.[2]
