The number of refugees in some countries and regions declined in 2017，but the global refugee and migration situation remained uncertain. The religious factors behind the refugee and migration issues attracted international attention. In the short term，there was still a possibility that the refugee situation would deteriorate. In the long term，the refugee and migration issues remained a global challenge. In the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants，the heads of states and governments committed to strengthening global governance of migration and to achieving the migration goals in the 2030 Agenda. But there exist many obstacles in the field of international cooperation. Global migration and refugee issues are closely related to China’s internal and external policies. China is facing increasing domestic pressures with respect to migration governance as well as increasing international responsibility with respect to migration governance.
