    احتاجت الشعوب منذ القدم إلى التواصل فيما بينها, و الاستجابة لمتطلبات الحياة في الاستقرار السياسي و لذلك لجأت إلى تحقيق ذلك عن طريق ارسال الرسل و المبعوثين و هذا هو بداية ما عُرف فيما بعد بالدبلوماسية الحديثة و ظهور السفراء الذين تولوا هذه المهمة.والدولة العثمانية حظيت بعلاقات سياسية عديدة في الشرق والغرب و لذلك توجب عليها أن تتجه نحو الجانب الدبلوماسي من اجل توثيق هذه العلاقات و الاستفادة منها في الجانب السياسي والاقتصادي و إظهار هيبة الدولة العثمانية، وتجاوز الازمات التي تعرضت لها . و برزت اهمية هذه العلاقات الدبلوماسية في عهد السلطان سليمان القانوني (926هـ - 973هـ / 1520م – 1566م) وهو العصر الذهبي للدولة العثمانية, وبدأت الدول بإرسال السفراء و البعثات الدبلوماسية الى استانبول ، وحظيت هذه السفارات باهتمام كبير في البلاط العثماني ، وصاحب ذلك اقامة مراسم استقبال تناسب قدوم السفراء وتعكس اهتمام السلطان ورجال الدولة بهذا الامر وفق قواعد دبلوماسية محددة
