Sister cities
Twinned with Dakar
12 of 18 in this atlas
Dakar maintains formal twinning ties with a wide geographic spread of cities, from African capitals such as Bamako, Bissau, Brazzaville, Douala, Kinshasa, and Niamey to more distant partners including Baku, Isfahan, Milan, Taipei, and Washington. Nearly all these pairings are mutual, with only East Jerusalem naming Dakar without reciprocal acknowledgment, making Dakar's twinning record notably consistent in its mutuality.

1 of these do not list Dakar back. Twinning is declared independently by each municipality, so one-sided pairs are common — and usually more interesting than the mutual ones.
