China has sent two giant pandas to a zoo in Atlanta in the United States, according to a report from Russia's TASS news agency citing television coverage of the transfer.
A farewell ceremony was held for the pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a major center for panda conservation and breeding research in southwestern China, before their departure for the United States.
China has for decades used panda loans and transfers to zoos abroad as a tool of cultural and diplomatic exchange, often referred to as "panda diplomacy," with agreements typically involving conservation research collaboration between Chinese institutions and the receiving zoo.
The report did not specify the names of the two pandas, the length or terms of their stay in Atlanta, or additional details of the arrangement between Chinese authorities and the receiving institution.
Zoo Atlanta has previously been among the small number of U.S. zoos to host giant pandas as part of such international loan arrangements.
