Three plane parts judged to be from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight - two in Mozambique and one on the French island of Reunion -have been recovered since the airliner went missing over two years ago.
An huge underwater search is ongoing, but the main body of the plane is yet to be found.
Malaysia's Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi also said 103,000 square kilometres of the 120,000-square-kilometre search area in the southern Indian Ocean, where the plane is suspected to have crashed, have been covered so far.
The flight with 239 people aboard, mostly of them Chinese, disappeared nearly an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8, 2014.
