Two giant pandas from China, 4-year-old male Jing Jing and 3-year-old female Si Hai, left their breeding base in Sichuan Province yesterday for Qatar, part of a joint program on the research and protection of the animal between the two countries.

Experts from China have provided on-site guidance at the venue where the two pandas will live in Qatar and help establish a professional team.

The two giant pandas will live in Qatar for 15 years.

中国大熊猫保护研究中心也派出了经验丰富的饲养师和兽医专家陪同前往，帮助它们适应新环境。中国专家为这两只大熊猫的饲养提供现场指导，并帮助建立专业团队。2020年5月，中国和卡塔尔签署了关于大熊猫保护和研究的合作协议，以促进生物多样性保护的国际合作。这两只大熊猫将在卡塔尔生活15年。
