Syria's President Bashar Assad will comment on U.S. and European demands that he step down and sanctions in an interview that will be broadcast Sunday on state television.
The state-run news agency says Assad will also speak about government reforms and his "future vision" for Syria.
Assad's TV interview will be his fourth public appearance since the revolt against his family's 40-year rule erupted in mid-March.
The Syrian leader has come under mounting criticism over the brutal offensive against the 5-month-old uprising, most recently from the United States and its European allies who on Thursday demanded he step down.
SANA did not give a time for when the interview would be aired.
