Prime Minister Najib Razak has confirmed that part of the aircraft wing found on Reunion island is from the missing MH370 plane.
Mr Razak said international experts examining the debris in France had "conclusively confirmed" it was from the aircraft.
He also gives his sympathies and condolences for the families of passengers and crew who were on board the flight.
“I hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful, will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people on board MH370,” he said.
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
The debris was examined at an aeronautical test centre in Toulouse.
