The latest pair of giant pandas on loan to the U.S. will live in Georgia for 10 years, a bright spot amid economic tensions between the countries.
Two giant pandas flew from Chengdu to Atlanta on Sunday under a new China-US loan deal. Their return gives Zoo Atlanta a fresh draw and revives panda diplomacy amid wider tensions.
The pandas’ transfer had been already agreed but the departure was announced Thursday during Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington.
