Acting interior minister Ko Ki-dong made the remarks Monday during a government meeting on the crash, saying authorities are wrapping up the search at the crash site.

Expressing gratitude to the bereaved families for their understanding and cooperation, the acting minister said the government will continue to provide support for the families after the funerals and will remain in communication with them.
