리비아 납치 국민 극적 석방 뒤에 한•UAE 특수관계 있었다
Behind the release of the South Korean hostage were the "intensive efforts" made by the United Arab Emirates.
Seoul's foreign affairs ministry told reporters the UAE's coordination and cooperation with the Libyan National Army was also a big help.
While the official from the ministry did not provide further details on how the release went,... he explained there was no combat nor negotiation with the abductors.
The armed group may not be related to the Islamic State terrorists, their identity is still being investigated.
The UAE's foreign ministry also released a statement on Friday,... saying the hostage's release follows efforts to convey a message on the importance of strengthening security and peace in Libya.
