Seoul - North Korea's parliament on Wednesday sacked the country's premier, Pak Pong-Ju, and replaced him with transport minister Kim Yong-Il, state media said.

The Supreme People's Assembly session "relieved deputy Pak Pong-Ju of premiership and elected deputy Kim Yong-Il premier of the cabinet of the DPRK (North Korea)," the official Korean Central News Agency said.

The agency gave no explanation for the sacking of Pak, 67, who had held the post since September 2003 and was theoretically the head of government.
