Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Tuesday said his government is committed to solving the "agonising mystery of the missing MH370 flight for the loved ones of those who were lost in the tragedy". On the second anniversary of the Malaysia Airlines flight's disappearance, Razak said an international search team is working tirelessly to find the plane's wreckage in the southern Indian Ocean, adding he is confident they will find it. Razak said that if the remains of the aircraft were not found within the 1,20,000 sq km area that is being searched, Malaysia will hold a tripartite meeting with Australia and China to decide the further course of action, reported PTI.
"The discovery of debris on the island of Reunion last July provided further evidence that...Flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean. But we know that neither the passage of time, nor this evidence, will comfort those whose grief cannot be assuaged," Razak said. The investigation team led by Australia also issued a statement, saying that what happened to the plane, en route from Kuala Lampur to Beijing, remains a mystery. Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 with 239 passengers and crew on board, including five Indians.
