If business, Mandarin Chinese.

"As China rises, the world is embracing Mandarin."

If foreign affairs, French.

"It is the second most widely used language, after English, at the United Nations"

Mandarin, Arabic, and Hindi - those are all pretty useful, albeit hard to learn.

I also suggest Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi ... vast numbers of people speak these, and they are quickly developing a thriving economic growth.

Spanish, with its latin roots, it is very similar to many other languages as well.
