Dr Kim Howells visits the US
20 September 2008
Foreign Office Minister Dr Kim Howells visited the US on 17-18 September to discuss a range of issues including migration and trafficking.
Dr Howells visited EPIC (El Paso Intelligence Centre), on the US/Mexican border on Wednesday 17 September. He discussed migration, border controls, people trafficking and drug trafficking whilst he was there as well as terrorists moving across the border.
He then moved on to Houston where he visited the Consulate to see the damage caused by Hurricane Ike first hand, where just under a million people are still without power.
Kim Howells was due to attend more engagements in Houston, including a visit to NASA, but his programme was cut short due to the aftermath of the hurricane.
