Reference News Network July 17 report - According to the website of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on July 17, Australian Prime Minister Albanese visited the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding and paid a visit to the beloved friends of the Australian people - giant pandas "Wang Wang" and "Fu Ni". "Fu Ni" was hiding behind the bushes, curiously looking around. Upon seeing her old friend, she came out from the bushes and was nibbling an apple.
Prime Minister Albanese reunited with his old friend "Fu Ni" in China, recalling the scene years ago when he fed "Fu Ni" with his own hands at the Adelaide Zoo. The Prime Minister called her "an outstanding ambassador of China".
Albanese admitted that he really likes watching videos of giant pandas, saying that he follows multiple online video accounts of giant pandas.
The giant pandas "Wang Wang" and "Fu Ni" lived at the Adelaide Zoo for 15 years and returned to China at the end of last year. When they left, Australians were reluctant to say goodbye and flocked to the zoo for their final farewell. Now, the zoo has welcomed a new pair of giant pandas "Xing Qiu" and "Yi Lan". Currently, Australia is the only country in the Southern Hemisphere that has giant pandas.
Now, "Fu Ni" has ended her 15-year stay in Australia and returned to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. This "retired" giant panda is now 19 years old. The guide accompanying Prime Minister Albanese told him that giant pandas are considered "old" around the age of 20.
According to a reporter from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation who accompanied the trip, for the media and most Australians, the most unforgettable image of the Prime Minister's visit to Chengdu might be these extraordinary giant pandas.
