Mian Gul Akbar Zeb (Urdu: ميان گل اكبر زيب) is a former, retired Pakistani diplomat and a member of the former royal family of Swat (princely state).He is the grand son of Miangul Jahan Zeb, (Wali of Swat) and son-in-law of the former Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Miangul Aurangzeb. He has been in the Foreign Service of Pakistan since 1979 and has accomplished various assignments abroad and at home.
Miangul Akbar Zeb was born on 15 February 1954 to Miangul Alam zeb at Saidu Sharif in the former ruling family of Swat. After graduation from the Cambridge University, he joined the Foreign Office of Pakistan in 1979 and since then accomplished various assignment at home and abroad. Following is the detail of his assignments:
Akbar Zeb could not receive accreditation as Pakistan’s ambassador by Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain due to his name which could be translated in Arabic to "biggest dick". His family name is spelled Zaib but changed to Zeb, means "someone with good countenance". Later on, the story was debunked by the Pakistani officials as Akbar Zeb was not considered to be appointed in the Arab region.
