The powerful head of Aktor Alexandros Exarchou crossed the threshold of the White House yesterday at 12:30, staying inside until 15:30, according to the Big Mouth column of powergame.gr. However, it was not disclosed who he met and spoke with for three hours. Nevertheless, a photograph published by Big Mouth somewhat confirms the news.

In any case, Exarchou has begun doing serious business with the new Americans, a fact that is visible to the naked eye. This is why everyone is forced to recognize how significant the deals he signed on American soil are.
The agreements Exarchou has already secured
It should be noted that a barrage of deals for the Vertical Corridor were closed in Washington, as the Atlantic SEE LNG Trade consortium, in which AKTOR holds 60% and DEPA Commercial holds the remaining 40%, announced not one, not two, not three, but four new long-term agreements that “step on the gas” for the emblematic project. Picking up the thread from where he left off at the P-TEC Summit in Athens, Atlantic CEO Alexandros Exarchou, who represented the company at the Washington meetings, signed long-term LNG sales agreements with Ukraine’s state gas supply company, Naftogaz (following the short-term agreement the two companies signed in November to cover part of Kiev’s energy needs during this winter), with Bulgaria’s public natural gas company, Bulgargaz, with Albania’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, and with Aluminij Industries and M.T. Abraham group of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
These are precisely the type of agreements sought by both the Greek and American sides in order to strengthen the commercial credibility of the Vertical Corridor. According to the Big Mouth column of powergame.gr, it is also significant that two new entries, Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina, are being added to the “range” of countries with which Atlantic SEE has contracted, as Naftogaz is now an… old acquaintance of Exarchou, while agreements with Romania were signed in November.
