Speaking at a Security Council meeting on Jan. 22, 2018, Libyan representative to the UN Elmahdi S. Elmajerbi condemned the attempt to send explosives to Libya in the hold of a ship named the Andromeda and expressed hope that the Greek and Turkish governments would share the results of their investigations into these matters.
