A senior aide of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today appealed the United States to consider relaxing the negative travel advisory to its citizens for travel to the state.
"The United States should consider relaxing the travel advisory for the state keeping in view the peace, progress and security situation in the Valley," Omar's Political Secretary Tanvir Sadiq told a team of visiting US diplomats here.
Deputy Counsellor for Political Affairs Gautam A Rana and Political Advisor to US Embassy in New Delhi Dinesh Dubey called on Sadiq at his residence here.
Sadiq said the state has undergone a very difficult phase and due to efforts of the government and cooperation of the people, peace and normalcy have become a reality.
He also said that there was a crucial need for engaging Pakistan in productive dialogue.
"The beneficiaries of the good neighbourly relations between New Delhi and Islamabad will be the people of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
