British FM Johnson cancels Moscow visit over 'developments in Syria'

Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has cancelled a scheduled visit to Moscow next week, his office announced Saturday, 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 Monday. "We deplore Russiaâ s continued defence of the Assad regime even after the chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians," added Johnson.
