북한서 연락두절된 호주 유학생, 무사히 풀려나... 오늘 중국 도착
Alek Sigley, an Australian student studying at Kim Il-sung University in North Korea,... has been released from detention in the North and is now in China.
Sigley was spotted arriving in Beijing on Thursday,... where he told reporters that he's doing very well.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, meanwhile, expressed his gratitude to Sweden for its help.
Canberra does not have an embassy in Pyeongyang, so it asked Stockholm for help,... with Swedish envoys meeting with North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho on Wednesday.
Sigley has been pursuing a master's degree at Kim Il-sung University since last year, but had been out of contact since late May... why he was detained in the first place is still unknown.
