WASHINGTON, March 21, 2014 – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
spoke this morning with a senior Malaysian government official about the
ongoing search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy
Rear Adm. John Kirby said.
Defense Minister Hishammuddin bin Tun Hussein, who also is
Malaysia’s acting transport minister, thanked Hagel for the support being
provided by the United States, particularly that of the U.S. Navy, and
requested that U.S. officials consider providing some undersea surveillance
equipment as well, Kirby said in a statement summarizing the call.
“Secretary Hagel assured Minister Hishammuddin that he would
assess the availability and utility of military undersea technology for such a
task and provide him an update in the very near future,” the press secretary
said.
