Countries that border Tajikistan
4 land neighbours: Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
4 neighbours, and 4 pairs of them border each other too.
Its 4 land borders are joint 6th-most in Asia — level with Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Thailand and Turkmenistan. Of the 6 possible pairings among them, 4 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 Tajikistan, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.

Dushanbe
