South Korean President Lee Myung-bak Monday reshuffled the Cabinet, sacking three ministers, a presidential spokesman said.

The president replaced the agriculture minister, the education minister and the minister for health and welfare, spokesman Lee Dong-Kwan said.

The reshuffle came nearly one month after the Cabinet offered on June 10 to resign over public criticism of a beef import deal with the United States.
