All 298 people on board the plane, which was flying from Amsterdam to the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, were killed. Most victims were Dutch.
A joint investigation team formed in 2014 by Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Ukraine found that the plane was shot down by a Russian missile.
The Malaysian government remains steadfast and committed to continuing the ongoing legal action against those responsible for the tragedy of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Monday (July 15) said the legal action is ongoing at the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands.
International prosecutors in February 2023, said they had found "strong indications" that Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the use in Ukraine of a Russian missile system that shot down the plane.
However, they said evidence of Putin's and other Russian officials' involvement was not concrete enough to lead to a criminal conviction, and that they would end their probe without further prosecutions.
Russia has denied any involvement with the downing of the civilian airliner.
