Timely information sharing

More than 10 days after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared from radar, triggering an unprecedented multinational search, the sharing of information among the search parties has become all the more imperative.
As 26 countries are now involved in the search mission, it is vital for them to share information in a timely and comprehensive manner. Any country that drags its feet at this moment is not showing due respect to the 239 lives aboard the missing plane, says a Xinhua commentary.
It is known to all that inaccurate, or at least incomplete, information meant the initial search in the South China Sea led nowhere and thus precious time was wasted.
