According to the publication, a detachment of elite police officers will ensure the safe passage of two giant pandas to the "Ocean Park" in Hong Kong. Armed guards on motorcycles will accompany the animals for 40 kilometers.
Giant pandas arrived from the Chinese province of Sichuan. The Chinese authorities ordered to donate them to the Hong Kong park. Police squad officers all the way from the airport will ensure the safety of animals, writes the South China Morning Post.
The big panda is an unofficial symbol of China and is protected by the state. Sending these animals to other countries is possible only with the permission of the authorities and is considered a diplomatic tradition. About 1.8 thousand bamboo bears now live in natural conditions.
