Addressing the Leader's Summit on Refugees, Chinese Premier1 Li Keqiang has revealed Chinese plans to spend an additional 300-million US dollars over the next three years.
"Each year in the next three years, China will provide 50 million dollars to multi-lateral humanitarian2 organizations or UN Initiatives, and another 50 million dollars in the form of bilateral3 humanitarian aid. This would enlarge China's commitment by 300 million US dollars. "
This follows another promise by the Chinese Premier on Monday to add 100-million dollars in annual aid to UN development agencies.
That new funding will be itemized in the Chinese government's South-South Cooperation Fund, which was first set up last year to assist developing countries.
The new 300-million US dollar Chinese commitment to refugees comes following a call to action by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon.
"Not a single country, however powerful and resources it may be, cannot handle this one. The United Nations cannot handle this one alone. We need all solidarity4 and we need unity5 in addressing this issue."
The large movement of refugees and migrants is one of the main focal points at this year's UN General Assembly this year.
Monday's Summit for Refugees and Migrants has seen world leaders sign the "New York Declaration."
This is an international pledge to improve the conditions facing the world's refugees and migrants.
