(4th LD) N. Korea to hold parliamentary election in March

   By Kim Hyun
SEOUL, Jan. 7 (Yonhap) -- North Korea will hold overdue parliamentary elections in March, Pyongyang's official news agency said Wednesday, in what appears to be a sign of the regime returning to normal with leader Kim Jong-il's improving health.

The Supreme People's Assembly made its decision on Tuesday to "hold the 12th representatives' election on March 8 in 2009," the Korean Central News Agency said in a brief statement.
