According to CCTV reports, on November 6 local time, after more than a month of adaptation period, the Chinese giant pandas 'Pingping' and 'Fushuang' made their official debut at the giant panda enclosure of the zoo in Atlanta, USA, meeting with media and the public.
According to the arrangements between China and the United States, this pair of giant pandas will begin a 10-year life in the Atlanta Zoo.

The Chinese Wildlife Protection Association signed an international cooperation research agreement on giant panda conservation with the Atlanta Zoo in the United States last year. According to the agreement, a pair of giant pandas from the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, "Pingping" (male) and "Fushuang" (female), will travel to the US for a ten-year cooperation on giant panda conservation. This initiative continues the 20-year-old "panda bond" between the people of the two countries.
