0:21Now PlayingPandas are returning to Washington’s National Zoo, the latest sign that China is reversing course after it took back all the bears on loan to the US.
China will send a new pair of pandas, two-year-olds Bao Li and Qing Bao, to Washington by the end of the year, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Zoo said Wednesday. The pandas will stay through April 2034 and, in keeping with past agreements, the bears and any offspring they produce will remain China’s property.
A previous set of pandas left Washington in November after the US and China failed to renew an agreement for them to stay. Their absence marked the first time the National Zoo has been without the bears since 1972, when a pair of pandas was loaned as a gift from Beijing to commemorate President Richard Nixon’s visit.
