Three new items of debris suspected to be from missing jet MH370, are to be flown to Australia for analysis.
One item of debris was discovered washed ashore on Mozambique and two in Mauritius.
Previous pieces of debris which were ‘almost certainly’ from the doomed plane have been found in both countries.
Australian Transport Minister Darren Chester announced the existence of new debris but declined to say from what part of the aircraft they are possibly from.
"The Malaysian government is yet to take custody of the items, however as with previous items, Malaysian officials are arranging collection and it is expected the items will be brought to Australia for examination. These items of debris are of interest and will be examined by experts," Chester said in a statement.
Meanwhile a meeting of officials from Malaysia, China and Australia will convene in June or July to discuss the next steps once the current search in the Southern Indian Ocean is complete.
"We stand guided by the experts’ rules. After the search is completed they will give us a report and we will discuss at the tripartite meeting. No decision has been made as yet," said Malaysian transport minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
