The Consulate General of China in Adelaide and Adelaide Zoo in South Australia jointly hosted the "Wangwang" and "Funi" activities to bid farewell to the pair of giant pandas who will depart for their home country on the morning of the 15th. On November 14th, at Adelaide Zoo in Australia, South Australian Minister of Tourism and Multiculturalism Zoe Bettison delivered a farewell speech. Xinhua News Agency reporter Ma Ping's photo, taken by Chinese Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian, stated during the event that in 2009, China and Australia launched a cooperation on giant panda conservation and research. "Wangwang" and "Funi" settled down at Adelaide Zoo, becoming the only pair of giant pandas in the southern hemisphere. Over the past 15 years, both China and Australia have achieved positive results in giant panda conservation, disease prevention and control, and disease diagnosis and treatment. In Adelaide Zoo, "Wangwang" and "Funi" are loved by the Australian people. They are the most popular "traffic stars" and have become symbols of the deep friendship between the Chinese and Australian people. South Australia's Minister of Tourism and Multiculturalism, Zoe Bettison, stated in her speech that Australian children love "The Net" and "Fony" very much, and these giant pandas are closely connected to the Australian people. She called on the world to pay attention to the protection of giant pandas and stated that Australia will continue to cooperate with China in the conservation of giant pandas. Alia Hayward, the giant panda administrator at Adelaide Zoo who has been with the pandas for 15 years, said that every day spent with them is magical. She said, 'Wangwang' and 'Funi' will always be members of our zoo family. We will never forget them.
