HULU TERENGGANU: A special tripartite meeting between Malaysian, Australian and Chinese officials will be held in the near future to discuss the latest developments on the discovery of two pieces of debris, which allegedly belong to Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 in Mozambique.

Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Jailani Johari, who is also chairman of the Communications and Media Relations Committee on the MH370 tragedy, said the debris had been sent to Australia for inspection by aviation experts from the three countries.

"The cooperation between the three countries is still ongoing and we have always been informed about the discovery of any debris, the fragments need to be analysed to see if they belong to MH370," he said after launching the 'Hala Tuju Destini Anak Bangsa' symposium here on Saturday.

On March 8, 2014, the Boeing 777-200ER jetliner carrying a total of 239 passengers and crew, vanished from radar screens while en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. The search for the missing plane is being conducted in the southern Indian Ocean.

On the dissemination of false news in partiucular that MAS flight MH020 had crashed in Paris, France, Jailani said spreading false information would continue to occur, as long as there were irresponsible people.

"I believe that the authorities have taken action on the matter and the Department of Civil Aviation has also denied it … I advised the people not to easily believe and always refer to the relevant authorities to verify any news received," he said. – Bernama
