State visit: Xi on visit to Washington: Two panda bears for the USA

China is sending two pandas to the Atlanta zoo in the United States as a symbol of friendship and diplomacy. Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the pandas' arrival during his visit to the White House. This is not the first time Chinese pandas have been loaned to a US zoo, a practice referred to as panda diplomacy. The pandas will arrive in Atlanta in a few days.
