Two giant pandas, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, have arrived at the San Diego Zoo in California from China's Sichuan Province on a chartered flight. This marks the first time in over two decades that new pandas have been sent to the United States. The pandas' arrival is part of a 10-year international giant panda protection cooperation agreement between China and the United States. The pandas, a 5-year-old male and a 4-year-old female, will be quarantined for a minimum of 30 days before being introduced to the public. This initiative, often referred to as 'panda diplomacy,' aims to strengthen bilateral relations and promote conservation efforts. The pandas' journey began with a farewell ceremony in China and included a 7,300-mile flight to their new home. The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance expressed excitement about welcoming the pandas on Thursday morning.
