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.
