China vows to intensify efforts on flight search

Minister promises no slackening, invites companies to join the hunt

Transport Minister Yang Chuantang said in Canberra, Australia, on Monday that China will continue with uninterrupted and intensified efforts in the search for missing flight MH370.

The search in the next phase will "not be interrupted, not be suspended, not be given up and not be slackened", based on the consensus reached at a trilateral meeting, Yang told a news conference following a ministerial meeting between Australia, Malaysia and China.
