Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says his government is ready to continue on the path of reforms and vows to defeat a foreign “plot” against his country.

Syria has been planning reforms for a long time, especially to improve the people's standard of living, he said addressing the parliament on Wednesday.

He said enemies have taken advantage of the people's legitimate demands in order to create division and undermine Syria's stability, Reuters reported.

On Tuesday hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets across the country to show support for Assad.

Meanwhile, hundreds of people chanting “freedom” had taken to the streets of Latakia and Deraa on Wednesday, and that troops had fired warning shots in an attempt to get them to disperse.
