Born in [Istanbul](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul "Istanbul"), he entered the public service at an early age and rose rapidly, becoming [ambassador](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador "Ambassador") in [Paris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris "Paris") (1834) and in [London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London "London") (1836), minister for foreign affairs (1837), again ambassador in London (1838), and in Paris (1841). Appointed governor of [Adrianople](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrianople "Adrianople") in 1843, he returned as ambassador to Paris in the same year. Between 1845 and 1857 he was six times [grand vizier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_vizier "Grand vizier"). One of the greatest and most brilliant statesmen of his time, thoroughly acquainted with [European](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe "Europe") politics, and well versed in affairs, he was a convinced if somewhat too ardent partisan of reform and the principal author of the legislative remodelling of Turkish administrative methods known as the [Tanzimât (تنظيمات)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzimat "Tanzimat"). His ability was recognized alike by friend and by foe. His effort to promote reforms within the government led him to promote careers of many other reformers such as [Fuad Pasha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuad_Pasha "Fuad Pasha") and [Mehmed Emin Ali Pasha](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmed_Emin_Ali_Pasha "Mehmed Emin Ali Pasha").[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Reshid_Pasha#cite_note-0) In the settlement of the [Egyptian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt "Egypt") question in 1840, and during the [Crimean War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_War "Crimean War") and the ensuing peace negotiations, he rendered valuable services to the state.
