Foreign Minister on China-US panda conservation deal

The latest deal between China and the United States on the conservation of giant pandas will make a positive contribution to enhancing the friendship between the Chinese and American people, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday.
As agreed by the two sides, San Francisco Zoo is set to receive a pair of giant pandas from China next year. Giant pandas are not only China’s national treasure, but also popular and loved by people all over the world. They serve as emissaries and a bridge of friendship.
