In 1997, Kiribati moved the international date line to include its easternmost islands, specifically the Line Islands, in the same time zone as the rest of the country. This change meant that the islands would be on the same day as the majority of Kiribati, facilitating travel and communication. The adjustment effectively allowed Kiribati to be one of the first countries to welcome the new day.
