Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said in a statement Sunday that representatives from Malaysia, the US, China, France and Boeing would take part in the verification of the flaperon.

About two-thirds of those aboard Flight 370 were Chinese.

Liow said Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation was reaching out to authorities in territories near Reunion to allow experts "to conduct more substantive analysis should there be more debris coming on to land, providing us more clues to the missing aircraft."

"I urge all parties to allow this crucial investigation process to take its course. I reiterate this is for the sake of the next of kin of the loved ones of MH370 who would be anxiously awaiting news and have suffered much over this time," Liow said. "We will make an announcement once the verification process has been completed."
