　　Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was a guest of honor on Monday, as the Toronto Zoo named two giant panda cubs.

　　The two cubs were born last October. Their mother was a visiting panda from China.

　　The two pandas were named Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue, which in Chinese mean "Canadian Hope" and "Canadian Joy", respectively.

　　Trudeau used the opportunity to emphasize the growing ties between China and Canada.

　　"The panda is a symbol of peace and friendship, which is fitting considering Canada's ever-growing relationship with China. The birth of these pandas on the 45th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Canada and China is a wonderful and serendipitous coincidence."

　　Trudeau also highlighted the increasing people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, especially in the areas of tourism and education.

　　The pandas will eventually be returned to China.
