Malaysian PM says committed to finding Flight MH370

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has assured the families of all 239 people aboard Flight MH370 that Malaysia, together with Australia and China, remains committed to locate the aircraft that mysteriously vanished over the Indian Ocean nearly 11 months ago.

"Today my thoughts are with the families of those on MH370. The search will continue. Malaysia, Australia and China remain committed to finding the plane," Najib said in a post on his official Facebook page.

The disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 aircraft en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 last year remains one of history's greatest unsolved aviation mysteries. Despite an international search operation, no trace of the missing aircraft has been found so far.

The search mission was initiated in the South China Sea and Andaman Sea before Razak announced on March 24 announced that the Flight had "ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) on Thursday declared the disappearance of the plane an accident in accordance with standard annexes 12 and 13 of the Chicago Convention.
