An Australian student has thanked Swedish and his country's diplomats for securing his release from North Korea but isn't talking about what led to his weeklong detention.
An Australian student on Friday thanked Swedish and his country's diplomats for securing his release in North Korea but kept mum about what led to his weeklong detention.
He specifically thanked Sweden's special envoy to North Korea, Kent Rolf Magnus Harstedt, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne for his release. "My advice would be pretty clear. I'd stay in Japan, I'd go back to South Korea, I'd come back to Australia. All of those would have to be better options before he returns to North Korea and we've got advisories out to that effect, warning people," he said."So there needs to be an application of common sense here and I don't think he'd put himself back in that situation.
Joyce said it wasn't profit that drove the former university friends to run the tours for Westerners since 2013.
