In a move to celebrate its 70th anniversary, North Korea will establish it's own time zone on August 15th, by pulling back its standard time back 30 Minutes.
According to the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, the move is to allow the country have its own standard time "Pyongyang Time", and also to root out the legacy of their colonial imperialist. The Japanese had ruled Korea as a single country between 1910-1945.
The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land with 5,000-year-long history and culture and pursuing the unheard-of policy of obliterating the Korean nation.
Both North and South Koreans use the Japanese time zone as they believe it conform to international practice, but North Korea will be 30 Minutes behind.
An official of the Seoul's Unification Ministry said that the "Pyongyang Time" could bring some minor disruptions at a jointly run industrial park at the North Korean border city of Kaesong and other inter-Korean affairs.
