Earlier on Thursday, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said the debris discovered on Reunion Island was confirmed to belong to the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. He said Malaysia remains dedicated to finding out what happened on board the flight.
The debris was discovered on Reunion Island on July 29 and was officially identified as part of a plane wing, known as a flaperon, from a Boeing 777.
Prior to the latest discovery, a massive surface and underwater hunt had failed to find the plane in what had become one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history.
The plane went missing on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 on board, most of them Chinese.
