Govt strives for pandas arrival by late Sept: sources

Sources told RTHK the government was working to have two giant pandas arrive in the SAR by late September. The two adult pandas, aged between five and eight, are a gift from mainland authorities. Sources said the culture and tourism minister Kevin Yeung would visit Sichuan Province this week for arrangements, including the naming of the pandas and the signing of relevant documents. September 26 is one of the dates to be considered for their arrival, sources told RTHK on Wednesday. Chief Executive John Lee had earlier paid a visit to Sichuan, and said the male panda chosen by the mainland authorities is agile and smart, while the female panda is gentle and cute.
