00:00Today, we would like to wish farewell to the pair Fuwa and Feng Yi and we've seen that they have achieved various achievements throughout the years in their state in Malaysia, including the breeding and birth of three giant panda cubs.
00:22And after this decade-long giant panda conservation in the country, we look forward to the future to see future cooperation between the two countries, including in the area of wildlife conservation, especially with regards to panda.
00:41We would like to thank the People's Republic of China for granting us the International Cooperation Project on Giant Panda Conservation with the loans of Fuwa and Feng Yi for a period of 10 years.
00:57And this cooperation has been pivotal to the economic and diplomatic strength between the two countries.
01:04And this has been fortified through building our capacity in endangered species conservation as well as providing other benefits to the community.
