Suncor Energy says it is suspending its operations in Syria following the imposition of economic sanctions against the regime of President Bashar Assad.
The company says it is working through a plan to safely withdraw its foreign staff while retaining its Syrian employees.
Pressure has been mounting on the Calgary-based company to close its operations since new international sanctions were imposed on the regime earlier this month.
Suncor is still known in the country by the name Petro Canada.
