In New Zealand and Kiribati, it’s 2024! Other countries will welcome the New Year after Kiribati, as it is the first to usher in the new year at 10 am GMT (3:30 pm IST), being east of the International Date Line in the central Pacific Ocean in Oceania.
As December 31 approaches midnight, the global countdown to welcome the New Year begins. Although New Zealand and Kiribati have already entered 2024, other nations are preparing to ring in the New Year. The International Date Line ensures that not all countries celebrate simultaneously, with some welcoming the new year nearly a day after others.
