SEPANG: Malaysia has proposed for a tripartite meeting between the transport ministers of Malaysia, China and Australia soon to work out the details and direction of the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Director-General of the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) Datuk Seri Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the three countries were committed until next year in the search for MH370 which was lost in the Indian Ocean.
“We are now coordinating with the transport ministers of China and Australia...if possible, we want to do it as quickly as possible but it depends on the situation and time of the ministers concerned,” he told reporters here today.
Earlier Azharuddin was present to welcome Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor at the Kompleks Bunga Raya, KL International Airport (KLIA) who were returning from a working visit overseas.
On March 8 last year, flight MH370 which was on its way to Beijing, China, from Kuala Lumpur, disappeared from the radar.
On Aug 6, Najib announced that the flaperon of the aircraft found on Reunion Island last July was from flight MH370. -- BERNAMA
