Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on Thursday that two pandas will soon arrive at a zoo in Atlanta, USA, during a welcome ceremony ahead of the US-China summit. He described pandas as "messengers of friendship between the Chinese and American people." The announcement was made at a White House ceremony where Xi was greeted by President Trump. The China Wildlife Conservation Association had previously announced in April that it would lend two giant pandas to the Atlanta zoo. Japan returned two pandas to China in January this year, marking the first time in about half a century since their initial arrival in 1972 that Japan has no pandas.
