"I stand before you and make this promise that I will do everything possible to get the Cabinet's approval to sign a new contract with Ocean Infinity for the search to resume as soon as possible.
"As the government of Malaysia, we will do everything possible to solve this mystery once and for all, and we hope that you remain strong for us to find the truth.
"I'm glad that there are some progress in some of the new research and new technologies which have been presented and we really hope that the search can find the pplane and to give the truth to the next-of-kins and we all want to provide closure for the families," he added.
On March 8 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing vanished from radars after just two hours of flying.
There has been little to no news of the the whereabouts of the plane to date.
Loke added that Malaysia has implemented the necessary changes to enhance aviation safety internationally and prevent a similar incident.
