After turning 100 days old, the first-ever twin panda cubs born in Germany were named Meng Xiang and Meng Yuan.

The two names together means "beautiful dreams come true" in Chinese.

Chinese Ambassador to Germany Wu Ken said the year 2019 has seen 60 pandas born across the world, 57 of which survived, including the two at Berlin Zoo. 

In August, China's Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding dispatched two experts to work with panda breeders and caretakers here in Berlin.

The panda twins would spend the next two to four years in Berlin and would move to China afterwards, according to Berlin Zoo. The two cubs will be introduced to the public from the beginning of next year.
