Abstract

This article attempts to review in brief a need for English lan-guage proficiency for diplomats in today’s fast moving world and the need of the diplomatic English to communicate effectively and unambiguously to create and maintain successful diplomatic rela-tions.
In this paper we would like to introduce some innovative usage of expressions and words commonly used in politics and analyze their usage in the political discourse and to answer the following questions: What language should one use when speaking to diplo-mats? What language should diplomats use to be more precise? What language/languages should a young diplomat try to learn to be more successful in his profession?
