PM Nawaz Sharif, the world will wait for your speech in Urdu next month, thus, walk the talk.
It is the internet era, the United Nations broadcast via the online TV. You have millions of viewers to see your handsome face.
Mr MODI of India did that last year.
It is only the Malaysia Prime Minister, who wants to show the world how good his English is. But in fact, when his turn was in, only a handful people attend the session,perhaps, those attend were from Malaysia embassy in New York.
Esperanto can be used in the United Nations too.

Pakistan is to abolish English as its official language in favour of Urdu.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is backing the move, which would mean a range of government documents - including passports, utility bills and websites - will be published in Urdu.
All speeches made at home and abroad, from the president down to state representatives, will also be conducted in Urdu.
The plan is to completely replace English with Urdu for official business within the next 10 to 15 years.
It follows concerns that many young Pakistanis are shunning their national dress and language to adopt a more Western point of view.
Is this part of a cultural and nationalist revival? Or will it lead to a breakdown in communications?
And how does this translate around the world?
