Balochistan News Desk | May 17, 2025 — Quamber Hussain Baloch, a British citizen of Baloch origin, has been appointed as the United Kingdom’s High Commissioner to Fiji. Originally from Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province, Mr. Baloch fled with his family to the UK in the late 1980s to escape political repression.
This appointment marks a historic achievement, as it is among the highest diplomatic roles ever held by a former refugee from the Baloch community. The announcement received wide coverage in British media, with recognition from official institutions for Mr. Baloch’s service and journey.
In a recent interview, Mr. Baloch recalled the challenges of fleeing persecution in 1987 and expressed gratitude toward the UK for offering him the freedom to grow, study law, and serve in diplomatic roles abroad. Educated at Warwick and Cambridge, he has worked in legal and diplomatic positions across various international regions, including Iraq.
Fluent in Balochi, Persian, and Arabic, Mr. Baloch has continued to honor his roots. His appointment is being seen by many as a reflection of the opportunities available in free societies versus the repression faced by minorities in authoritarian regimes.
