By Yantoultra Ngui KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Saturday he would meet his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte next week to discuss how to secure full access for investigators to the site in Ukraine where a Malaysian airliner was downed. Pro-Russian separatists remain in control of the area in eastern Ukraine where the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was brought down last week on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 on board. "My priority now is to ensure the third part of the deal is honored, and that international investigators are given full and secure access to the site," he said in a statement. "This will require the cooperation of those in control of the crash site and the Ukrainian armed forces." The statement said Najib would fly to the Netherlands for talks on Wednesday, after Malaysia has marked the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
