I dont have much to add, but I think theres value in Westerners interacting with people their government labels as enemies. It helps humanize them, which in turn makes it harder for the government to justify violence against them later on.
Besides that as a xenophile, I believe respectful cultural exchange is a healthy thing for individuals. It broadens your horizons and gives you a better understanding of the world.
