Repatriated abductee Hitomi Soga, set to be reunited Friday in Jakarta with her husband and daughters still in North Korea, said Tuesday she eventually wants them all together in Japan.

"In the very end, I strongly feel that I want the four of us to live together here in Japan," Soga told a news conference in her hometown on Sado Island, where she has lived since her return in 2002.

She said she is "very happy and relieved" at being able to meet with her family for the first time in 21 months. But she also expressed concern about how their discussions about the future may proceed.
