Proposal for forming Baluch National Congress

Baluch National Congress

Introduction

Baluch people as a nation are spread in many countries. They live in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and many European and American countries. Their number is estimated to be between 30 to 40 millions. They have their own culture, history, distinct identity, language, values and traditions. Since they live in many countries, there is a great need for an international organization to bring them closer to each other.

Baluch National Congress is to serve as a centre to facilitate the unity and prosperity of Baloch nation.
