"We are leaning into our arts and culture. We have said it's driving our economic recovery. We want to go tell our great sister cities of Shanghai and Seoul all about San Francisco."
"The whole mayor's team and all of us in the arts and culture in the city are deeply committed to continuing our roles in that cultural and economic exchange."
"We are in dialogue about it. We are making sure our zoo is ready to host those pandas. So we'll have more conversations about that."
Mayor Daniel Lurie will visit Shanghai and Seoul to promote San Francisco's arts and culture, aiming to boost tourism. This trip, his first international journey since taking office, includes local business and cultural leaders. Lurie emphasized the importance of cultural exchange for economic recovery. Discussions about bringing giant pandas back to the SF Zoo are ongoing, with preparations being made to host them. Former Mayor London Breed had previously secured funding for a panda habitat, and Lurie's interest in the project is now being explored further.
