San Diego Zoo to Welcome New Giant Pandas This Summer

The pandas, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, are part of a renewed 'panda diplomacy' effort, symbolizing U.S.-China conservation collaboration.

Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, two giant pandas from China, are set to arrive at the San Diego Zoo this summer.
The pair's arrival marks a resurgence of 'panda diplomacy,' a symbol of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China.
Yun Chuan has familial ties to the zoo, being the offspring of Zhen Zhen, born there in 2007.
The pandas were chosen after careful collaboration with Chinese conservation partners, highlighting ongoing international conservation efforts.
San Diego Zoo officials and conservation scientists have recently visited China to finalize arrangements and meet the pandas.
