Hungary–Syria relations
Hungary and Syria established diplomatic relations in 1954.[1] The Syrian embassy was opened in 1961.[1] However, these relations were severed in 2012, when Hungary joined most EU countries in imposing sanctions on Syria and withdrawing its ambassador from Damascus.[2]

In 2019, Hungary announced its intention to upgrade its diplomatic representation in Syria.[3] Hungary's move was motivated by its populist approach and its desire to participate in Syria's reconstruction. After the seismic event of February 2023, Hungary gave Syria 50 million HUF in assistance.[4]
