(CNN)Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has promised to continue the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, almost five years to the day since it disappeared.
Speaking to CNN affiliate 9 News Australia, Mahathir said “For as long as there is hope, we will continue to think of ways and means to find out” the plane’s fate.
“We intend to continue” the search, he told Danica Weeks, whose husband Paul was one of 239 on board the plane when it vanished in 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, in what has become one of the world’s biggest aviation mysteries.
