MH370: Tripartite Meeting To Decide Whether To Continue Search - Minister Liow

KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) -- The authority involved in the search for the missing MH370 aircraft has yet to decide whether to terminate the mission after the targeted 120,000 square kilometres of coverage in the Indian Ocean is completed. Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the decision would depend on the report by the search experts despite the discovery of several debris confirmed to belong to the ill-fated aircraft, which vanished since March 8, 2014. He said a tripartite meeting involving Malaysia, China and Australia would be held in June or July to discuss on the next course of action. "We stand guided by the experts' rules. After the search is completed they will give us a report and we will discuss at the tripartite meeting. "No decision has been made as yet," he told reporters here, Thursday. The Beijing-bound MH370 aircraft with 239 passengers and crew on board had been reported to have ended in the southern Indian Ocean. --BERNAMA
