LONDON (Reuters) - A blueprint for a Syrian political transition that requires President Bashar al-Assad to step down could help stalled peace talks restart, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Wednesday.

Johnson said that if peace talks were to get back on track, "it is obviously critical that the world and all the interlocutors in Geneva should be able to see that there is a future for Syria that goes beyond the Assad regime."
