Srinagar: American diplomats called on former Chief Minister and National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah in Srinagar on Monday.
Omar called for re-looking at the travel advisories to Jammu and Kashmir.
The discussions covered a wide range of issues pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir and the region in general, NC spokesman said.
It said the US delegation included Minister-Counselor for Political Affairs Graham Mayer, First Secretary Gary Applegarth, and Political Counselor Abhiram.
The meeting was also attended by Member of Parliament from Srinagar Aga Ruhullah Mehdi and Chief Spokesperson and Head of Communications Tanvir Sadiq.
The spokesman said that Omar emphasized to the diplomats the importance of re-looking at the travel advisories for Jammu and Kashmir with a view to easing the restrictions.
He encouraged people from around the world to visit Kashmir and experience its beauty and culture firsthand.
The spokesman said Omar also invited the diplomats to visit Kashmir with their families as a first step to inspire confidence among tourists from the United States and other parts of the world.
In July this year, the US revised its travel advisory for India and asked its nationals not to travel to Manipur and J&K.
