  Part of the aircraft wing found on Reunion Island is from the missing MH370plane, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has confirmed.

  Mr Najib said experts examining the debris in France had "conclusivelyconfirmed" it was from the aircraft.

  But the investigators have stopped short of confirming the link, sayingonly that it is highly likely.

  The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off course fromKuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

  The debris was found on the remote French Indian Ocean island a week agoand was taken to Toulouse for testing.

  The plane is long believed to have crashed into the southern Indian Oceanafter veering off course - though no evidence had been found despite a massivesearch operation.

  The debris was found last week on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion

  "It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that an internationalteam of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris [...] isindeed MH370," Mr Najib told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.

  "We now have physical evidence that [...] flight MH370 tragically ended inthe southern Indian Ocean," he added.

  Mr Najib said he hoped the discovery "will at least bring certainty to thefamilies" of the victims, saying the burden they had faced was"unspeakable".

  'Very strong indications'

  French prosecutor Serge Mackowiak later confirmed the wing fragment, knownas a flaperon, was from a Boeing 777 - the same make and model as the missingMalaysian airliner.

  He said initial tests showed there were "very strong indications" that itwas from flight MH370. But he said confirmation would only come after furthertests on the fragment, which would begin on Thursday.

  "[Investigators] will try to do it as soon as possible in order to providetotal and reliable information to the family of victims, who are on our minds atthe moment," Mr Mackowiak added.

  Analysis: Hugh Schofield, BBC News, Paris

  The Paris prosecutor failed to be as categorical as the Malaysian primeminister in asserting that the wing piece does come from MH370. All he said wasthat there are very strong reasons to presume that it is from the missingplane.

  That does not mean that the prosecutor has any reason to doubt the primeminister's conclusion - simply that he is exercising supreme legal caution.

  In the coming days there will be more tests on the flaperon and it'sexpected that these will prove the piece's origin. After that, it will probablybe many months before deeper analysis allows any tentative deductions about howthe plane may have come down.

  'It's not over yet'

  Australia has been leading the search for the plane in the area it isbelieved to have gone down, some 4,000km (2,500 miles) east of Reunion.

  Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Melbourne Radio 3AW the discovery "doesseem to confirm that it went down in the Indian Ocean, it does seem veryconsistent with the search pattern that we've been using for the last fewmonths".

  Relatives of the victims were told about the initial results shortly beforeMr Najib's news conference on Wednesday.

  Jacquita Gonzales, the wife of crew member Patrick Gomes, said: "Now thatthey have confirmed it as MH370, I know my husband is no longer of this worldbut they just can't leave it with this one flaperon."

  "We urge them to continue searching until they find the plane and bring itback," she told reporters. "It's not over yet."

  She said she still hoped to get her husband's body back so that the familycan give him a proper burial and say goodbye.

  Malaysia Airlines described confirmation of the flaperon as "a majorbreakthrough".

  In a statement, it said it hoped further evidence would be found in thecoming days that would "help resolve this mystery".
