On December 10, the Pairi Daiza zoo in Belgium bid a farewell to the giant panda siblings "Tian Bao" "Bao Di" and "Bao Mei". The event was attended by nearly one thousand guests, including Chinese Ambassador to Belgium H.E. Fei Shengchao, Minister-President of Wallonia Adrien Dolimont, Mayor of Brugelette Isabelle Liegeois and President of Pairi Daiza Mr. Eric Domb, Chinese and Belgian media, and representatives from all walks of life. In his remarks, Ambassador Fei Shengchao said that giant panda siblings' return to China is not only a significant milestone in China-Belgium cooperation on ecological conservation and research, but also a testament to the deep friendship between the two peoples. We warmly welcome our friends to visit them in China, and to further strengthen China-Belgium cooperation in various fields. At the farewell ceremony, the String Quartet of Chinese and Belgian artists performed Salut d'Amour and other classic pieces. The children waved small flags with images of giant pandas while wishing them a safe trip home. "Good bye, 'Tian Bao' 'Bao Di' and 'Bao Mei'! We love you forever!" |
