Australian reporter released from China

"I am pleased to confirm that Ms Cheng Lei has arrived safely home in Australia, and has been reunited with her two children and her family. I spoke with her on the phone this afternoon.

This is an outcome the Australian government has been seeking for a long time," Albanese said on X (formerly Twitter.) Australian foreign minister, Penny Wong, met Cheng, who is ethnic Chinese, at the Melbourne airport.

"Her return brings an end to a very difficult few years for her family. The government has been seeking this for a long period of time and her return will be warmly welcomed not just by her family and friends but by all Australians," Albanese was quoted by Reuters as saying at a press conference, adding that the matter "was concluded through the legal processes in China".
