STORYLINE:
China’s new round of international cooperation in giant panda conservation will make new contributions to protecting the species and improving friendships between China and other countries, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning announced that a charter flight carrying a panda duo, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, departed for the San Diego Zoo in the U.S. on Thursday morning.
“China and the U.S. have made various preparations to ensure their health and safety during the flight in accordance with the relevant requirements and technical standards for international giant panda conservation cooperation,” she said.
Yun Chuan, a mild-mannered male who’s nearly 5-years-old, has connections to California, the Wildlife Alliance said previously.
His mother, Zhen Zhen, was born at the San Diego Zoo in 2007 to parents Bai Yun and Gao Gao.
Xin Bao is a nearly 4-year-old female described as “a gentle and witty introvert with a sweet round face and big ears.”
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has a nearly 30-year partnership with leading conservation institutions in China focused on protecting and recovering giant pandas and the bamboo forests they depend on.
