This article examines the semantic and semiotic characteristics of diplomatic discourse as a complex form of institutional communication. The study aims to identify the mechanisms through which linguistic meanings, symbolic representations, and communicative intentions contribute to diplomatic interaction. The methodological framework combines semantic analysis, semiotic interpretation, discourse analysis, comparative linguistic analysis, and qualitative conceptual synthesis. The findings demonstrate that diplomatic discourse operates through interconnected semantic and semiotic mechanisms involving lexical representation, evaluative meaning, modality, symbolic conventions, intertextuality, and institutional identity. Particular attention is given to the interpretation of diplomatic terminology, indirect meaning, culturally determined communicative strategies, and non-verbal signs. An integrative analytical framework is proposed to explain the relationship between linguistic meaning, sign systems, institutional conventions, and pragmatic interpretation. The study concludes that diplomatic discourse should be understood not merely as a system of formal political statements but as a multidimensional communicative practice in which semantic precision and semiotic representation jointly influence international relations.
