"China Announces Plan to Send Additional Pandas to San Diego Zoo"

China plans to send a new pair of giant pandas to the San Diego Zoo, renewing its longstanding gesture of friendship toward the United States after nearly all the iconic bears on loan to U.S. zoos were returned. The move comes after Chinese President Xi Jinping raised hopes of resuming panda exchanges with the U.S. during a meeting with President Joe Biden. The new pair of pandas, a male and a female, are expected to arrive at the San Diego Zoo as early as the end of summer, marking a significant development in panda diplomacy and wildlife conservation efforts.
