British FM cancels Moscow visit over ’developments in Syria’

LONDON

Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has cancelled a scheduled visit to Moscow next week, his office announced on April 8, saying "developments in Syria have changed the situation fundamentally".

"My priority is now to continue contact with the US and others in the run up to the G7 meeting on 10-11 April," said Johnson, who was due to travel to Moscow on April 10, lamenting "Russia’s continuing defence of the Assad regime".
