Two giant pandas set off to Atlanta zoo from China after Xi-Trump summit

Two giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, arrived at Zoo Atlanta on Sunday morning via a FedEx Panda Express Boeing 777 from Chengdu. This transfer follows an agreement between the Chinese and US governments, announced by President Xi Jinping during a summit with Donald Trump in Washington DC. Described as envoys of friendship, the pandas represent a concrete outcome of the state visit, serving as icons of China's soft diplomacy despite ongoing differences between the nations.
