Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi said Saturday that he hopes to bring giant pandas to Hawaii, calling the potential move a symbol of the bond between the state capital and its Chinese sister city, Fuzhou, capital of East China's Fujian province.

"If we were fortunate enough to get pandas to come to Hawaii, that would be incredible," Blangiardi said during a visit to Fuzhou Panda World on Saturday.
