About Kinshasa
Kinshasa is the capital of DR Congo and lies on the Congo River, facing Brazzaville in the Republic of the Congo. It is the largest French-speaking city in the world. Western DR Congo uses UTC+01:00 with no daylight saving, the same as Sweden in winter and one hour behind in summer.
There is no summer time in Kinshasa; when Sweden changes its clocks, the difference changes by one hour.
