Japan's only two giant pandas will be returned to China in January
00:05
as the relationship between the two countries remains strained.

Japan currently has a pair of twin pandas, Lele and Xiao Xiao, housed at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo,

which has previously cooperated with facilities in China and the US to successfully breed giant pandas.

Lele and Xiao Xiao were born in 2021 to their mother, Xin Xin, who arrived in Japan in 2011
00:35
and was returned to China last year.
00:38
They are now scheduled to be repatriated one month before their loan period expires in February.

The animals were loaned under China's panda diplomacy program
00:47
and have long symbolized the normalization of diplomatic ties between Japan and China since 1972.
