Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said on June 9 a package of United Nation reform measures is "not helpful" and more discussion is needed before reaching a decision.

Liu made the remark when asked to comment on China's position paper concerning UN reform, which was published Tuesday.

"China supports the UN reform and strengthening the United Nations' role and multi-lateralism in a bid to better cope with global threat and challenge," Liu said. "The UN reform is of all- round and in multi-sector and it's not helpful for the reform to yield in positive results to take a package solution."

Liu said that simple reforms should be implemented soon, but for more complicated and controversial measures, UN members should "take a prudent attitude" to continue discussions.

China's position paper on UN reform fully illustrated its points of view on that, he said. China will positively and in a constructive manner to take part in the UN general assembly's discussion on relevant questions.

China will, along with other UN members, push for more results on the UN reform in a summit meeting this September, Liu said.
