Exact time with seconds in Suriname and timezones

The official time zone of Suriname is Atlantic Standard Time (AST). This is UTC-04:00, which is the same as US Eastern Standard Time (EST).

These include the North Eastern part of Suriname where the local time coincides with Brasilia time (UTC-3) due to its close proximity to Brazil.
