- 6 years ago
Let's start with the latest developments regarding North Korea,.. and they are coming thick and fast.
The regime says there will be no separate 'Pyongyang time' starting May 5th, as North Korea moves its time zone to match that of Seoul's.
North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency reported on Monday... that the decision was made directly by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un... as the first move to harmonize and unify the people of the two Koreas.
North Korean time has been 30 minutes behind South Korean time since August 2015, when it was changed in a political gesture.
But Kim decided to change the time back on Friday.
He's reported to have told President Moon Jae-in that it was heartbreaking to see two different clocks at the Peace House,... one showing South Korean time and the other showing North Korean time.
