Report: Nasrallah Has Held Several Meetings with Assad over Reforms

Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has held more than one meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad to discuss reform in Syria, al-Akhbar daily reported Monday.

The newspaper did not say when the talks were held.

It quoted Assad as saying that he did not need encouragement to go ahead with planned reforms.

Steps needed to implement the reforms are linked with his efforts to confront some countries who are attempting to topple the Syrian regime over his ties with Hizbullah, he reportedly said.

Assad rejects to hear messages that he should give up his support for Hizbullah, al-Akhbar added.
