It would take some time, according to S Jaishankar, minister of external affairs, but attempts are being made to have Hindi recognised as an official language at the UN.
Jaishankar stated that Hindi is being used at UNESCO while speaking at a gathering in New Delhi on Thursday. We have an agreement with them about the use of Hindi in its headquarters. They employ it in newsletters and social media. To expand on this will take some time. It is difficult to introduce a language into the UN process. He stated that it is being worked on and will proceed.
The six official languages of the UN at the moment are English, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and French.Along with V. Muraleedharan, Minister of State for External Affairs, and Anjeela Jokhan, Permanent Secretary for the Fijian Ministry of Education, Heritage, and Arts, Jaishankar also unveiled the Vishwa Hindi Diwas logo and website.
