This article examines the issues of speech economy and coherence in diplomatic communication based on diplomatic speeches delivered in English and Uzbek. Speech economy is understood as the principle of expressing content concisely while limiting redundant wording, and it constitutes a crucial factor of effective communication. Coherence, in turn, ensures the logical connectivity of ideas within discourse. In diplomatic speeches, these two principles often require careful balance: on the one hand, information must be conveyed promptly through concise and precise expression; on the other hand, the message must remain logically structured and semantically consistent. The study employs comparative and linguopragmatic approaches to identify stylistic and structural differences in the materials of both languages and highlights the strategies that ensure coherence and economy in diplomatic discourse.
