Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on last Monday that China will provide 100 million U.S. dollars in additional humanitarian aid to help solve problems brought about by massive movement of refugees and migrants.

The aid, which is on top of China' s previous pledges, would go to some relevant countries and international organizations.

Li made the statement while addressing the Summit for Refugees and Migrants of the ongoing UN General Assembly in New York that opened earlier last week.

The large movement of refugees and migrants concerns global peace and development, affects regional stability, and could trigger serious political, social and security concerns, the premier said.

"We are committed to shouldering our responsibilities compatible with our abilities, and this is an act of justice," Li said.

"We did what we could to help, even when China was poor," he said, adding that "now China has made great progress in its economy, but we still are a developing country."

While noting this is the first UN meeting on large movement of refugees and migrants since the bloc' s founding, Li hopes the meeting would be a new start for all parties to reach consensus and join hands to solve the issue.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the restoration of China's seat in the UN.
