Sister cities
Twinned with Chisinau
9 of 25 in this atlas
Chisinau maintains formal twinning ties with municipalities across a broad span of regions, from Ankara and Tbilisi to Vilnius and Xi'an. Most of these pairings are mutual, with both sides naming each other, including Bucharest, Kyiv, Minsk, Odesa, and Yerevan. Xi'an stands apart as a one-sided declaration, named by Chisinau but not reciprocated in kind.
