Countries that border Afghanistan
6 land neighbours: China, Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
6 neighbours, and 6 pairs of them border each other too.
5 countries in Asia have more than its 6 land borders; it is the same as India and Iraq. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. China is the most connected of them, with 14 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Asia map with Afghanistan, and on the world map with everyone else.
