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

China will deploy three vessels to participate in the transitional period of the search for the missing Malaysia Airline plane, he added.
