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.
Its 6 land borders are joint 4th-most in Asia — level with 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 deal on the Asia board alongside Afghanistan, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.
