The last remaining pandas in the United States, currently at a zoo in the southern city of Atlanta, are due to return to China by late 2024.
But after a meeting last year with US President Joe Biden, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said that China could send new pandas as “envoys of friendship between the Chinese and American people”.
The White House said it would be happy to have more of the bamboo-chewing bears.
“Giant pandas are a national treasure of China and are deeply loved by people all over the world,” Mao said on Thursday.
“We look forward to a new round of international cooperation on the protection of giant pandas with the relevant countries,” she said.
There are an estimated 1,860 giant pandas left in the wild, according to environmental group WWF, and about 600 in captivity in panda centres, zoos and wildlife parks worldwide.
