Li vows not to give up plane hunt

Premier urges Malaysia to narrow scope of the search and to draw up new plans

The search for the Malaysia Airlines jetliner remains a top priority, Premier Li Keqiang said on Monday when he asked Kuala Lumpur to provide timely, accurate and comprehensive information.

"Although search areas keep expanding and difficulties ahead are increasing, we will not give up as long as there's a slim hope," Li said during a phone conversation with his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak.
