The name, which means "friendship" in Chinese, was announced by Malaysia's Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr. Xavier Jayakumar at the Zoo Negara in Kuala Lumpur. /VCG Photo
He said the name was selected to recognize the four-decade-long friendship between Malaysia and China. He added that he hoped the friendship between the two countries could be enhanced not only "economically" but also "diplomatically." /VCG Photo
Yi Yi was born in January last year and weighed 750 grams at the time of birth. Currently, she weighs about 50 kilograms. /VCG Photo
