SOUTH KOREA APPOINTS NEW PREMIER
Baku, August 8 (AZERTAC). South Korea`s President, Lee Myung-bak, has replaced the prime minister and seven ministers in the biggest cabinet reshuffle since he took office in 2008.
His nominee to be prime minister, Kim Tae-ho, was once a provincial governor.
Chung Un-chan stepped down as prime minister after parliament rejected the government`s plans for a new city.
The reshuffle also comes less than two weeks after Mr Lee`s Grand National Party won parliamentary by-elections seen as a referendum on the president.
In June, the ruling party suffered a major defeat in local elections.
