San Francisco Mayor London Breed visited Shanghai Wild Animal Park on Sunday.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): LONDON BREED, San Francisco Mayor
"Hi, I'm London Breed and I'm in Shanghai at the Wild Animal Park and look, Qian Jin is coming out to eat some food. How cute! It was really exciting and it was great to be here and it was my first opportunity to see a live panda. Here to see how these areas are set up because we want to make sure that the giant pandas that come to San Francisco have the best habitat. And we're going to be working with folks here to understand what that entails in terms of food, in terms of structure, how we set it up at our zoo because we want our pandas to be really happy. "

The China Wildlife Conservation Association and the San Francisco Zoo signed a Letter of Intent on International Cooperation of Giant Panda Conservation in Beijing on Friday.

The two sides will make various preparations before a pair of giant pandas are sent to the San Francisco Zoo in 2025.
