East Timor uses UTC+09:00. In the west the country borders the UTC+08:00 zone of Central Indonesia and in the east the UTC+09:00 zone of Eastern Indonesia. Daylight saving time is never observed in East Timor, due to its proximity to the equator; there is only a small variation between the length of day and night throughout the year. East Timor shares the same time zone with Japan Standard Time, Korean Standard Time, Pyongyang Time (North Korea), Eastern Indonesia Standard Time, Palau Time, and Yakutsk Time (Russia).
