China to send 2 giant pandas to Zoo Atlanta, President Xi Jinping says: "Envoy of friendship"
The new conservation deal will send male Ping Ping and female Fu Shuang from Chengdu as China renews its panda diplomacy with Atlanta.
- On Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced during a White House meeting that China will send two pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, to Zoo Atlanta, calling them an "envoy of friendship."
- Zoo Atlanta previously hosted pandas Lun Lun and Yang Yang, who departed for China in October 2024, leaving only the National Zoo and San Diego Zoo with pandas in the United States.
- Under a new research agreement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association, zoo officials are conducting facility upgrades with technical guidance from Chinese experts, though no arrival date has been disclosed.
- Giant pandas have served as a symbol of U.S.-China friendship since Beijing gifted a pair to the National Zoo in 1972, with China using the loan program as a diplomatic tool.
- Beyond the panda announcement, Xi and Trump addressed difficult bilateral issues during the state visit, with Xi stating competition should be healthy rather than a "wrestle" between the two nations.
