DOHA, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- From China with love, a pair of giant pandas have arrived in Qatar ahead of next month's World Cup.
Upon arrival in Qatar's capital Doha, the pandas, three-year-old female Si Hai and four-year-old male Jing Jing, were immediately transported to the Panda House at Al Khor Park, their new home in the Gulf country.
The pandas have also been given two Arab names, Suhail for Jing Jing and Soraya for Si Hai, by Qatar.
Football fans coming to watch the World Cup 2022 in Qatar next month would have the chance to see pandas, which are the national treasure of China.
