澳门特区政府行政法务司司长办公室19日发布消息称，日前内地专家组经赴澳实地考察，对澳门迎接新一对大熊猫的准备工作表示满意，最终确定大熊猫的来澳时间为4月30日，并沿用“开开”“心心”的名字。
澳门原有一对中央赠送的大熊猫“开开”、“心心”，2010年来澳定居，深受澳门市民喜爱，但雌性大熊猫“心心”2014年不幸因病离世。此后，澳门各界一直希望中央政府再赠送一对大熊猫。
2014年，在澳门回归祖国15周年之际，国家主席习近平在澳门会见澳门特区行政长官崔世安时表示，将再赠澳门一对大熊猫。随后，特区政府成立了爱游戏在线登录“跟进中央政府送赠大熊猫工作小组”，经过两地专家的层层选拔决定将现年8岁的雌性大熊猫“蜀蓉”及7岁的雄性大熊猫“娅林”赠予澳门，接替目前形单影只的“开开”。

A female panda, No.667, and a male, No.726, were chosen from 55 candidates following a three-month selection. The pandas, both 110 kg in weight, are also named Kaikai and his partner Xinxin who died in June last year, said the office.

The Macao SAR government said Kaikai will return to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding for a breeding plan.
The former Kaikai and Xinxin came to Macao as gifts for the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Macao's return to China. The luxury pavilion housing feeding and medical facilities cost some 90 million patacas (11.4 million U.S. dollars).
