It is improper to set a timetable for the reform of United Nations Security Council, Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said here Tuesday at a regular press conference.

When asked to comment on India's wish of becoming a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Kong said the reform of the Security Council is a crucial and sensitive issue, and a consensus should be reached with thorough consultations and discussions fromvarious related parties.

The reform of the United Nations is necessary along with the change of the times since its establishment over 50 years ago, Kong said.

The top priority of the reform is to expand the representative rights of developing countries inside the UN Security Council, he said.
